| Abstract: | High-quality logistics development is an inevitable link to achieve high-quality economic development, and is the key to accelerate the comprehensive competitiveness of the regional economy and the national economy. In order to clarify the high quality level of logistics in China and explore the differences in the level and dynamics of high quality development of logistics among different regions, this paper constructs indicators for measuring the level of high quality development of logistics, measures the level of high quality development of China's logistics industry from 2013 to 2019 using DEA-Malmquist method, and explores the differences of high quality of logistics in different regions of China and their convergence using α convergence model. The differences in logistics quality among different regions in China and their convergence were explored using the α convergence model. It was found that the level of high-quality development of logistics in China showed an upward trend across regions, but there was heterogeneity among regions, with the eastern region significantly outperforming the central and western regions, and some cities in the western region showing a slight downward trend. The level of logistics quality development does not show α convergence trend across the country and the eastern and central regions, while the western region shows a continuous divergence trend. |
