Factor Analysis of Chinese Provincial Logistics Industry Level

摘要

Based on the 31 provinces (city) data in 2012, we adopt factor analysis and select seven factors to establish index system. By extracting and compute sores of public factors, we obtain comprehensive scores of logistics and ranking 31 provinces. The results show that the development level of Chinese provincial logistics industry can be divided into three types: strong type, general type and weak type, which is closely related with the level of regional economic development. Therefore, we must vigorously develop the logistics industry to promote the economic development of the region.
