Abstract

Logistics activities affect the costs of international trade and eventually contribute to the recovery of the country’s economy. The efficient management of logistics performance makes countries capable to compete internationally. The main objective of this study is to develop a framework linking the logistics performance to trade openness through conducting an empirical study on countries of Europe and the African continent. It also aims examining which the logistics performance index affects trade openness using a statistical model. The results of this study showed that the logistics performance index positively enhances the index of trade openness in the countries of Europe and does not affect the countries of Africa, which shed the light on the importance role the logistics industry can play to enable trade openness in African countries.
