Abstract

Akademik çalışmalarda gelişmiş finansal sistemin lojistik sektörü için değeri vurgulanmaktadır. Ancak finansal gelişmişliğin boyutları olan finansal derinlik, erişim ve verimliliğin lojistik performans üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışma sayısı sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle, lojistik performans ile finansal derinlik, erişim ve verimlilik arasındaki ilişkiyi ampirik olarak inceleyerek literatüre katkıda bulunulması hedeflenmiştir. Sayılan bu değişkenlere ilave olarak iyi yönetişim ve küresel rekabet gücü değişkenleri de kurulan modele eklenmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini eş zamanlı olarak test etmek için PLS-SEM kullanılmıştır. Test sonuçları, iyi yönetişimin bütün değişkenler üzerinde önemli etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Finansal derinlik, erişim ve verimlilik, lojistik performans üzerinde önemli ve olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir. Finansal derinlik, erişim ve verimlilikteki bir birimlik değişiklik, lojistik performansta sırasıyla 0,272, 0,195 ve 0,164 birimlik değişikliğe yol açmaktadır. Finansal derinlik ile küresel rekabet gücü arasındaki bağlantı için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir sonuç bulunamamıştır, ancak finansal erişimin finansal verimliliğe oranla küresel rekabet üzerinde daha büyük etkiye sahip olduğu görülmüştür.

THE ASSOCIATION AMONG DIMENSIONS OF FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Although value of financial development for logistics industry is stressed by literature, the studies examining the impact of the dimensions of financial development -depth, access, and efficiency- on logistics performance are limited. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature by empirically examining the association among logistics performance, financial depth, access and efficiency, by adding global competitiveness and good governance variables into the model. Test results show that good governance has the largest impact on all. Importantly, financial depth, access, and efficiency have a significant and positive impact on logistics performance. One-unit change in financial depth, access, and efficiency leads 0,272, 0,195 and 0,164 unit change in logistics performance, respectively. Interestingly, we are not able to find statistically significant support for the linkage between financial depth and global competitiveness, but we find that financial access has the largest impact on global competitiveness compared to financial efficiency.
