Impacts of logistics performance on green exports of Viet Nam during 2007-2022: A gravity model approach
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
This study examines the influence of logistics performance on Vietnam’s green exports during 2007-2022, thereby contributing to the literature by linking subcomponents of the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) to green trade outcomes in a developing country. Using bilateral trade data and a gravity model estimated with robust OLS, this study examines three dimensions of green exports: total export value, product diversification, and average export value per product. The results show that shipment competitiveness and delivery timeliness exert the strongest positive effects, while logistics quality, tracking, infrastructure, and customs efficiency also contribute positively but to a lesser magnitude. These findings advance the current understanding that operational efficiency and predictability in logistics are critical determinants of green export performance, beyond aggregate infrastructure measures. Practically, the study highlights that targeted logistics reforms, especially those related to transport reliability and delivery speed, are essential for promoting the sustainable growth of Vietnam’s green exports.
