Effects of the Sub-Dimensions of Logistics Performance Index on Foreign Trade Coverage Ratio

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to explain the effect of each sub-dimension of the logistics performance index on foreign trade coverage ratio. The multiple regression method was used to decompose the effect of each sub-dimension. In the study, secondary data prepared by international institutions was used. SPSS program was used to perform the analyses. Although this study initially predicted that the LPI sub-dimensions had a positive effect on the coverage ratio, all the hypotheses, except for the infrastructure, were rejected. As a result of this study, positive effect of infrastructure on foreign trade coverage ratio has been found to be statistically significant.
