  1. Creating Global Value Through Efficient Trade Logistics Warren H. Hausman Hau L. Lee Uma Subramanian

  2. Motivation for logistics indicators research Methodology for developing logistics indicators Cross country comparisons of selected logistics indicators Logistics indicators as determinants of bilateral trade Supply chain-based logistics index Overview

  3. What Determines Bilateral Trade?

  4. Past Studies on Bilateral Trade GDP GDP Distance Institutions Infrastructure Country characteristics Institutions Infrastructure Country characteristics

  5. Our Focus GDP GDP Distance Institutions Infrastructure Country characteristics Institutions Infrastructure Country characteristics Logistics Frictions (Time and Cost Metrics)

  6. Institutional quality and infrastructure variables have been based on subjective indices or expert assessments. Quantifiable and measurable logistics performance indicators have not been used. Variables used are not easily translated into operations i.e. not directly actionable. Best results without using country-specific dummy variables explain 66% of variability in bilateral trade. Research Opportunities

  7. Determine the significance of logistics performance in influencing bilateral trade through the use of measurable and quantifiable logistics indicators. Perform a critical assessment of logistics performance of countries globally. Develop supply-chain logistics index to guide resource allocation and deployment for improving logistics efficiency. Objectives of Research

  8. Snapshot of Methodology Focus on containerized imports & exports Textiles/ Apparel Coffee, tea, cocoa, spices • 140 Countries 2005 Survey • Detailed Questionnaire Survey • Extensive follow-up through email and phone calls by World Bank • Survey • responses from practitioners/ intermediaries (Panalpina)

  27. Measurable and quantifiable logistics indicators improve explanatory power of gravity model for bilateral trade. Logistics indicators results show efficient logistics in time and cost can contribute to increased trade. Variability matters – higher variability in processing time can be a deterrent to bilateral trade. Observations

  28. A single metric to evaluate and measure logistics efficiencies Weights of each variable in the Logistics Index show relative benefits Use weights to guide resource allocation and deployment of logistics improvements A single measure enables quick and easy benchmarking Supply-Chain Based Logistics Index

  35. Implications for Logistics Improvements* A one percent reduction in: Results in this % increase in trade: “Distance” (surrogate for shipping cost) Trade-related cost Trade related time (average) Standard deviation of proc. time 1.415% 0.251% 0.143%** 0.308%** * Based on Stage Two and Three Regression Results ** Calculations based on exports from Brazil, China and Pakistan to US and UK

  36. It is possible to derive a single logistics index that captures all the explanatory power of all the logistics indicators. The logistics index is a significant determinant of bilateral trade. The logistics index is derived from distance, time, cost and variability measures. Logistics Index Observations

  37. Logistics indicators are a significant determinant of bilateral trade. A single Logistics Index has equal explanatory power to the set of logistics indicators. Private enterprises and government agencies should collaborate to improve logistics performance and reduce logistics friction in order to foster trade. The Logistics Index can be used to guide resource allocation and deployment for such improvement projects. Summary
