Abstract

The logistic capability of a region or a country is of outmost importance to its economic competitiveness. Hence, the basic goal of this study is to explore the logistic capability in Southeast European countries by applying the LPI methodology. This methodology provides the analysis of aggregate factor of logistic capability, as well as of individual indicators that constitute the index. The goal of the research is to establish a level of correlation between the aggregate factor of logistic performance and its constitutive indicators, but also the strength and direction of correlation between each of these individual indicators and global index of competitiveness. The research will focus on recognising the individual indicators that have a direct and relevant impact on the competitiveness of each country and of the whole region. The suggested frame of research could help in decision-making by providing a basis for better assessment of competitive advantages and the development of individual indicators that form the index of logistic performance.

 

Key words: logistic performance index (LPI), global competitiveness index (GCI), Southeast European countries
