It is of great practical significance to scientifically assess the impact of developing intelligent logistics industry on economic resilience.Using the panel data of 286 cities in China from 2006 to 2021,this paper creates indicators of intelligent logistics industry and economic resilience to explore the influence and its mechanism of intelligent logistics industry on economic resilience.The results indicate that the development of intelligent logistics industry significantly improves economic resilience,which is highly robust.The mechanism test finds that the development of intelligent logistics industry enhances economic resilience mainly by reducing the risk of external disturbances,coordinating supply and demand,and energizing economic activities.Expanded analysis shows that the development of intelligent logistics industry helps to promote market integration and unlock market potential.The facilitating effect of intelligent logistics industry on economic resilience is stronger in regions with high-level market segmentation or low-level marketization.There is also a network effect on promoting economic resilience brought by the development of intelligent logistics industry.Such effect increases with stronger logistics network.Therefore,it is suggested to promote the in-depth integration between new-generation information technology and logistics technology,strengthen digital and transportation infrastructure,optimize the transportation structure,and improve the inter-regional logistics system,so as to better facilitate the circulation of national economy and enhance economic resilience.
