Analysis on Regional Logistics Industry Agglomeration

Abstract

Regional Logistics and regional economy have a significant correlation. From the perspective of the logistics industry agglomeration, using the logistics industry data of 31 provinces in China, selecting three main indicators impact on the regional logistics industry based on previous research, entropy method and cluster analysis, combining to have a empirical study on overall development and characteristics of regional logistics industry in China. Entropy method gives each index weight and objectively calculated the integrated value of regional logistics industry, so we can develop the regional logistics industry integrated rank. Cluster analysis estimates the agglomeration level of regional logistics industry, and divides the 31 regions into three levels in certain similarity level certain similarity level. The regional logistics industry agglomeration effect is obvious, finally analyzed the reasons and variation of the agglomeration.
