Abstract:This paper uses SBM-DEA model to calculate the efficiency values of the logistics industry in 60 logistics hub cities within 10 years, and analyzes the convergence of efficiency in the eastern, central and western regions. The results show that the annual average efficiency value of eastern hub cities is the highest, and among them the efficiency values of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhoushan stay at 1 during the whole period. The efficiency of logistics industry in central hub cities has risen rapidly and surpassed that of eastern cities in 2019 by a narrow margin, and among them Wuhu, Nanyang, Anyang and Yueyang have shown strong momentum. The efficiency value of the logistics industry in the western hub cities is relatively low, making them the bottleneck that restrict the improvement of logistics efficiency of hub cities all over the nation. The logistics industry efficiency in all of the central and eastern hub cities show prominent catch-up effect and are generally high, but the logistics efficiency of hub cities in the western region tends to stabilize gradually at their own different area, and shows no catch-up effect, making it impossible for hub cities in western region to narrow the gap with central and eastern hub cities. In order to improve the efficiency of logistics industry in hub cities, we should face up to the short-term inefficiency due to the fact that logistics has not effectively fulfilled its vanguard role, improve the logistics network system with hub as the key nodes, break the boundary restrictions of hub cities by using the backbone circulation channels, and drive and lead logistics needs by organizing goods sources and transporting goods in western hub cities. The role of the national logistics hub in promoting the efficiency of the logistics industry of the host city has not yet been fully shown, so we should continue to pay attention to the impact of the hub construction policies on urban logistics.
