The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of logistics performance on the carbon (CO2) emissions of Balkan countries.,Fixed-effects panel regression analysis is used to estimate the causal relationship between CO2 emissions and logistic performances of Balkan countries. Logistics performance is measured by logistics performance index (LPI) which was published by the World Bank in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 and used for ranking countries by means of their logistics performance. LPI is based on six main indicators: customs procedures, logistics costs and the quality of the infrastructure for overland and maritime transport. As a measure of carbon emissions of sampled countries, the natural logarithm of carbon dioxide emission per capita is used in this study.,The results obtained reveal that there is a positive and significant relationship between logistics performance and CO2 performances of the sampled Balkan countries.,This study is based on only 11 Balkan countries. In this sense, the data used in the analysis is limited.,Considering the important geostrategic position of the Balkan region, logistics sector has an important role for the development of the countries in that region. In this sense, the findings of this study may provide useful insights for policymakers to achieve sustainable economic development. Furthermore, as far as the authors know, this is the first study that focuses on the relationship between logistics performance and carbon emissions of Balkan countries.

物流绩效与碳排放之间的关系:对巴尔干国家的实证研究

本文旨在分析物流绩效对巴尔干国家碳排放的影响。固定影响面板回归分析用于估计巴尔干国家二氧化碳排放与物流绩效之间的因果关系。物流绩效通过物流绩效指数(LPI)进行衡量,该指数由世界银行在2007年,2010年,2012年,2014年和2016年发布,并根据其物流绩效对国家进行排名。LPI基于六个主要指标:海关程序,物流成本以及陆上和海上运输基础设施的质量。本研究使用人均二氧化碳排放量的自然对数作为衡量抽样国家碳排放量的标准。所得结果表明,被抽样的巴尔干国家的物流绩效与CO2绩效之间存在正相关关系。本研究仅基于11个巴尔干国家。从这个意义上讲,分析中使用的数据是有限的。考虑到巴尔干地区的重要地缘战略地位,物流部门对该地区各国的发展具有重要作用。从这个意义上讲,本研究的结果可能为决策者实现可持续的经济发展提供有用的见解。此外,据作者所知,这是第一个侧重于巴尔干国家物流绩效与碳排放之间关系的研究。这项研究仅基于11个巴尔干国家。从这个意义上讲,分析中使用的数据是有限的。考虑到巴尔干地区的重要地缘战略地位,物流部门对该地区各国的发展具有重要作用。从这个意义上讲,本研究的结果可能为决策者实现可持续的经济发展提供有用的见解。此外,据作者所知,这是第一个侧重于巴尔干国家物流绩效与碳排放之间关系的研究。这项研究仅基于11个巴尔干国家。从这个意义上说,分析中使用的数据是有限的。考虑到巴尔干地区的重要地缘战略地位,物流部门对该地区各国的发展具有重要作用。从这个意义上讲,本研究的结果可能为决策者实现可持续的经济发展提供有用的见解。此外,据作者所知,这是第一个侧重于巴尔干国家物流绩效与碳排放之间关系的研究。该研究的结果可能为决策者实现可持续的经济发展提供有用的见解。此外,据作者所知,这是第一个侧重于巴尔干国家物流绩效与碳排放之间关系的研究。该研究的结果可能为决策者实现可持续的经济发展提供有用的见解。此外,据作者所知,这是第一个侧重于巴尔干国家物流绩效与碳排放之间关系的研究。
