Assessment of Logistic Performance on Global Competitiveness during 2007-2013

Abstract

Transportation infrastructure is one of the key success factorsin industrial and national development. Indeed, balanced development intransportation intersections has played a significant role in sustainabledevelopment. The present research tries to investigate the impact oflogistic indicator on global competitiveness. To achieve the goalsecondary data from GCR (Global Competitiveness Report) and LPI(Logistic Performance Indicator) multivariate Panel regression techniquehave been used. Statistical sample with non-probability strategy includeGCI and LPI panel data in 2007, 2010 and 2012. Findings of the researchby EVEIEWS 6 and panel data model reveal significant and positiveimpact on GCI and customs, infrastructure and shipments.
