Assessing the influence of GDP and trade balance on logistics performance index (LPI): A cross-country analysis

Jayalakshmi R and Praveen V

This study explores the relationship between economic indicators—Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and trade balance (Goods and Services Revenue, GSR)—and logistics performance across countries, focusing on the Logistics Performance Index (LPI). The objectives were to evaluate how GDP influences LPI, assess the impact of GSR on LPI, and analyze the combined effects of GDP and GSR on logistical efficiency. Data on GDP, GSR, and LPI from various nations were collected from credible sources, including the World Bank. Statistical methods such as descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were employed.
Findings revealed significant correlations between LPI and both GDP and GSR. High-GDP countries generally exhibited superior LPI scores, indicating that greater economic capacity translates to improved logistics performance. Additionally, a positive trade balance (GSR) was associated with higher LPI, emphasizing the critical role of efficient logistics in supporting trade. Regression analysis showed that GDP and GSR together explain 45% of the variance in LPI, highlighting their combined influence on logistical outcomes. Countries with robust logistics infrastructure, such as Singapore and Sweden, achieved higher LPI scores, while those with trade deficits faced logistical inefficiencies.
