Abstract:
Logistics and transportation plays a vital role in local and international trade of a country
because the cost of a product also depends on logistics. The study focuses on assessment of how
logistics performance quality and trade related infrastructure has been effected by the burden of
custom procedures, road sector diesel fuel consumption, air transport freight from the country,
registered air transport and documents required to import from the country for the top 30
developed countries for the year 2016, whereas the data has been collected for 2008, 2010, 2012,
2014 & 2016 respectively due to limitation of availability of data on LP1Q.
The study found that increase in road sector diesel fuel consumption, documents to import and
burden of custom procedures along with registered air transport are negatively related whereas
air transport freight is positively affecting the logistics performance quality and trade related
infrastructure. The study also found some issues of the road renovation, port capacity and
railway modernization required in some countries
The study suggests that further research can be done on how modernizing railways, improving
road and infrastructure, increasing capacity of ports can affect the quality of logistics
performance for the country.
