Abstract

Logistics and transportation are increasingly playing a crucial role in international trade relations. Logistics services provide sectoral connections within the local economy. The efficient logistics services facilitate the flow of products; besides ensuring safety and speed of movement, they can reduce the cost of cross-border trade. The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) evaluates the efficiency of customs, quality of transportation service, and infrastructure for overland and maritime transport in each country it covers. The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of the various LPI indicators of Korea's trading partners. The impact of LPI on trade varies according to the income level of the trading partners. The results show that an improvement in any of the components of the LPI can lead to significant growth in a country's trade flow. Exports to Korea will increase as the LPI of the trading partner country is higher. This index has a greater impact on the exports of low-income countries.

본 연구는 한국의 주요 무역 상대국들을 대상으로 물류성과지표들이 한국의 수입과 수출에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 계량 분석하였다. 중력모형에 기초하여 한국의 무역대상국을 소득수준으로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 물류성과지표의 탄력도는 중력모형의 거리변수의 탄력도보다 계수가 크게 나타나 양국의 교역량에 물류성과지표의 개선이 중요한 의미를 지니는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 소득수준이 낮은 국가의 경우 한국으로의 수출에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 물류성과지표들을 세분화하여 분석한 결과, 저소득 국가의 한국으로의 수출에는 물류역량, 국제수송, 화물추적, 적시성이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났으며, 중저소득의 국가의 경우는 물류시설과 화물추적이 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 중고소득의 경우는 모든 개별 지표, 즉, 통관, 물류시설, 물류역량, 국제수송, 화물추적, 적시성 변수가 통계적으로 유의하게 도출되어 물류성과지표가 미치는 무역에 미치는 영향이 가장 많은 것으로 분석되고 있다.
