An Input-Output Based Analysis of Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement of Strategies in Transportation Logistics Industry

摘要

It analyzes the changes in transportation logistics industry to intermediate input in various industries and household consumption ratio based on the input-output table from 2002 to 2015 in China. For the research of paper, it shows that the transportation and logistics industry has achieved significant achievements in cutting cost and increasing efficiency in recent period. For example, the input ratio is continuously falling for the transportation logistics industry to intermediate input in agriculture and manufacturing industries. However, the ratio is significantly rising in service sectors. The proportion of transportation logistics industry occupies the relatively higher for rural private households' consumption than it for urban household. Meanwhile, the research discovers the value-added ratio of the transportation logistics industry has the down tern between 2002 and 2015. Therefore, in the light of the findings, it proposes corresponding measures for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the transportation and logistics industry.
