Assessment of Logistics Effectiveness and Changes in Spatial-Temporal Distribution within the Yangtze River Economic Belt—Utilizing the DEA-Malmquist Model
The promotion of high-quality development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a crucial national development strategy.Assessing the logistics efficiency of the belt will facilitate regional coordination and high-quality development.In this study,we utilized the DEA-BCC model and Malmquist index to analyze the logistics efficiency of the urban agglomeration in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2018 to 2022.Our findings revealed that while overall logistics efficiency in the region is relatively high,there are spatial and temporal variations among different areas.The low total factor productivity value is primarily constrained by technological progress efficiency.
