“…In order to export, it is thus not suffi cient to have an advantage in a particular service if other required inputs are not in place. Examples of this interdependency abound: logistics services depend on the interaction among transportation, freight-forwarding services, warehousing, and cargo handling (Kunaka, Antoci, and Sáez 2013). The success of tourism depends on the provision of other services and physical infrastructure, such as airports and roads.…”

The quality of transport infrastructure and the efficiency of logistics services enhance economic development. This study measures the effects of transport-freight common modals and logistics performance on the exports of goods in 29 developing economies based on micro fixed-effects panel data for the period 2012–2018. The endogenous model proved a positive relationship with countries’ outward orientation, highlighting the importance of transport infrastructure and logistics resources. The results revealed that the quality of roads and ports contribute significantly to higher exports in developing economies. However, the quality of airport infrastructure and logistics show a harmful effect. Notably, the logistics services level is a detrimental factor impacting the export of goods in developing economies. These results may adversely impact the potential contributions of other transport assets based on intermodal transport functionality and global market participation. Therefore, governments should prioritize formulating innovative policies and integration strategies with the private sector to improve the performance of logistics providers and fully utilize current transportation assets, particularly airports. These plans will facilitate higher exports, yield better development, and improve economic competitiveness while expanding export product diversification opportunities.

“…They have a critical role in the success of global supply chains (Zeng and Rossetti, 2003). Efficient logistics is often recognised as one of the main drivers and facilitators of international trade and overall economic development (Arvis et al , 2018; Kunaka et al , 2013; Limão and Venables, 2001; Tongzon and Cheong, 2014), whereas external logistics constraints are among the main export barriers (Kahiya, 2018).…”

PurposeThis study aims to illuminate the relationship between the logistic performance indexes (LPIs) of trade countries and sharing obligations related to logistics services in delivery among parties in international sales contracts.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive one-year database of Serbian international trade flows is used. The LPIs of 148 countries are related to the Incoterms® rules in international sales contracts that designate the division of obligations between exporters and importers for moving goods. Empirical data were subjected to statistical analysis, where nonparametric correlation and inferential methods were applied. The differences between countries with the highest and lowest LPIs were also examined.FindingsLPIs positively correlate with logistics commitments in exports and imports. Their impact on the choice of Incoterms® rules differs among the groups of trade terms. Waterway and D-terms are the most sensitive. LPIs of trade countries clearly impact “emission” and “attraction” of the most extended sellers' delivery obligation “packages,” expressed in D rules.Research limitations/implicationsThe empirical data are limited to a single country. Further research must explore the relative impact of macrologistic factors on exporters and importers' logistics commitments for building better decision-making support tools.Practical implicationsThe results may support suppliers and buyers in sharing their experiences on Incoterms® practice and encourage more rational than intuitive decisions.Originality/valueThis is the first empirical study to quantitatively evidence the sensitivity of groups of Incoterms® rules on the macrologistic environment of trade countries.
