The Impact of Logistics Performance on Carbon Emission: An Empirical Investigation on African Countries

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between logistics and eco-efficiency, as measured by carbon emissions, in the most polluted African countries. The study was carried out in 10 countries, namely South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria, Morocco, Libya, Angola, Tunisia, Sudan, Kenya and Ghana, using data from 2007 to 2020. Logistics efficiency is measured by the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and carbon emissions by CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions per capita using publicly available secondary data published by the “World Bank” and the” Our World in Data database”. The analysis is performed using a regression model to see the relationship between the 6 performance variables and CO2 emissions by using the software R.
