The purpose of this paper is to device ways to quantitatively capture the international logistics power of the main countries and regions, centred on Asia quickly and accurately, based on the logistics postponement strategic theory by Bowersox et al. (1996). Certainly, the World Bank logistics reports have provided essential and reliable information for policy planning around the world countries. But in its result of comprehensive evaluation based on the questionnaire survey the weight value of each logistics factor have been unpublished. Moreover, reporting once every two years lacks speedy policy responsiveness. For this reason, this paper aims to demonstrate the structural differences in total logistics power among the US, Canada, the EU and the 8 Asian countries and regions, mainly by applying the additional dummy variable test for structural change analysis as an alternative to Chow's test. As a result, our small scale of comparative logistics analysis demonstrates to be substituted for related parts of the World Bank report. |
