ABSTRACT

The first stage of China's Western Region Development, which was mainly for secure logistics infrastructures from 2001 to 2010, has been completed recently. The objective of this research is to analyze logistics productivity changes in priority among the regions where the first plan was executed. This study indicates that the logistical productivity of China decreased by 2.3%, and technical efficiency perked up slightly to 0.8%. Also, technical change regressed by 3%. Meanwhile, the average of logistical productivity decreased by 0.4% throughout the western side of China. The technical efficiency increased by 2.2% and the technical change shrank by 2.5% in this area. This analysis states that the Chinese government needs a positive reaction to support the China's Western Region Development because a decrease in the productivity of logistics relatively affect the regressive feature of technical change. Also, the development plan is a bridge to the second step, which is accelerative level beyond the earlier step for logistics infrastructure. At this point, Korean logistics companies operating in China have to enter the market expansion of western area rapidly and secure the western base at the same time.
