Measuring National Level Logistics Costs
Overview of Worldwide Empirical Evidence
Presented by Prof. Lauri Ojala Turku School of Economics at the University of Turku, Finland
Finland ** ELA/ AT. Kearney** U.S. State of Logistics* Sweden*
State of logistics South Africa*
BVL Germany; Manufacturing***
China; Choi & Lee (2009) *
A wide spread of methods, units and definitions on logistics cost; few longitudinal studies exist
Logistics costs as % of: (i) GDP *; (ii) Sales **; (iii) Total costs *** Tajikistan 2005* Moldova 2005* Ukraine 2007*
Brazil = ILOS (2010) *

LPI 2007 indicated a strong correlation of national logistics performance and costs

Knowledge gaps on national level logistics performance indicators & costs
• Lack of comparable methods & terminology
• Very few cross-country studies made even in HICs
• Little comparative data across countries & industries
Fact-based, comparative policy recommendations difficult to make without adequate indicators

• Collecting the existing knowledge LPIO – Starting mainly from High Income countries
– Three workshops held in the US, Europe and Asia
• Analytic tools esp. for Middle & Low Income countries • Questionnaire-based surveys
• Statistics-based studies
• Modelling approaches
• Other approaches, e.g. Logistics Performance Index (LPI) surveys
Aim to measure logistics costs & KPI’s in a more uniform way

Logistics Performance International Observatory LPIO initiative by The World Bank to improve
Logistics Cost & Performance analysis
In conclusion, there is strong…
• …interest for exchange of knowledge among researchers in the field;
• …need for improved market information; and
• …demand for better analysis to support policy-making especially in LICs and MICs.
A need to create a joint knowledge platform to study national level logistics performance
