Does the Logistics Performance Affect International Trade of Vietnam?

Abstract

Logistics performance is strongly connected to international trade. This means increasing international trade simultaneously requires continuous advancement in logistics infrastructure of the economy. In turn, a better logistics performance will promote international trade. This relationship has been evident in a number of empirical studies.
This paper aims to examine the effect of logistics performance on Vietnam’s international trade by employing the Gravity model and a panel data set of her 19 trade partners during 2005-2018. Our empirical results confirm a statistically significant relationship between logistics performance and international trade of Vietnam.
