Coupling and Coordination Measurement of the Development Level of China’s Financial Industry and Logistics Industry

Abstract

Based on the panel data of 31 China’s provinces and cities, depending on discussing the significance of the coordination development of the financial industry and the logistics industry, the entropy method and the coupling coordination degree model were used to empirically analyze the dynamic coupling development of China's financial industry and logistics industry. Empirical analysis shows that during the sample period, the coordination development level of China's logistics industry and the financial industry had achieved a transition from overall disorder to overall coordination, but there was still a large potential for improvement. The level of coupling and coordination development was east-central-west declining trend in three steps. Guangdong was the province with the highest level of coupling and coordination development. Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia, Hainan, and Tianjin were the provinces and cities with the lowest level of coupling and coordination development.
