“…Besides the economic factors, there are many semi-economic and political factors playing important roles in determining trade flow. Many researchers augmented the simple gravity model with these factors as control variables or dummy variables, such as sharing the same border and having the same language or colonial heritage [4][5][6]. In this study, the standard gravity model is augmented with these semi-economic and political variables.…”

“…Marti et al [6] analyzed the impact of LPI and its components on trade flow in developing countries; the results revealed that LPI and all of its components have a significant positive effect on trade flows in all of the regions. Puertas et al [5] examined the effect of LPI and its components on export in European Union (EU, Brussels, Belgium) and found that LPI and all of its components have a significant positive effect on export. Chakraborty and Mukherjee [34] researched the influence of LPI on export orientation and found that LPI has a significant positive impact on trade orientation.…”

Economic globalization promotes industrial division and forms a large stream of products between countries all over the world, which leads to serious environmental problems. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between green logistics and international trade. Heckman's two-stage procedure is employed to estimate an augmented gravity model that specifically includes green logistics variables with the data of 113 countries and regions over the period between 2007-2014. The findings show that the logistics performance index (LPI) of exporting and importing countries are positively correlated with trade volume, and that the LPI of exporting countries positively affects trade probability. Taking the entire sample into account, the green logistics performance of exporting countries positively affects export probability and volume. For trade flows between developing-developing countries, developed-developed countries, and developed-developing countries, the green logistics performance of importing countries has a negative impact on the export volume of exporting countries. In terms of trade flow between developing-developed countries, the green logistics performance of importing countries has a negative impact on export probability and a positive impact on export volume. The present research results will assist governments and exporters in understanding the relationship between green logistics and international trade, and help improve their policies and green operations toward sustainable development.

“…On a different note, researchers have also attempted to ascertain the importance of the components of the LPI with regard to trade, either by including several components in the same model (Felipe and Kumar, 2012) or by estimating regressions that consider only one of the components (Hertel and Mirza, 2009;Puertas et al, 2013). Both papers conclude that infrastructure is the most important component in comparison to customs efficiency 1 .…”

Logistics and transport are becoming increasingly important in international trade relations. Logistic Performance Index (LPI) analyses the differences between countries, providing a general picture of customs procedures, logistics costs and the quality of the infrastructure necessary for overland and maritime transport. The aim of this article is to analyse the impact that each of the components that make up the LPI has on emerging countries' trade, employing a gravity model. Furthermore, the study also aims to detect possible advances in logistics in these countries, which are grouped into five regions (Africa, South America, Far East, Middle East and Eastern Europe) by comparing the first LPI data published in 2007 with the most recent data, released in 2012. The results obtained reveal that improvements in any of the components of the index cause the country to increase its volume of trade. Specifically, LPI components are becoming increasingly important for the countries in Africa, South America and Eastern Europe.

This paper studies the effectiveness of the implementation of trade facilitation measures in member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). We evaluate trade facilitation performance and indicate trade facilitation needs and priorities that vary between ASEAN members. In particular, we examine logistics-related costs in ASEAN and whether the current level of logistics-related costs could be a burden or an advantage for ASEAN countries. We also identify critical barriers that have impacts on logistics services related to foreign investment and customs across ASEAN. Finally, we propose recommendations for the harmonisation of logistics policies in ASEAN countries aimed at the development of the ASEAN Economic Community.
