Analysis on the Spatial Distribution of Logistics Industry in Northeast China

摘要

We apply methods of exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) to examine variation in logistics industry in northeast China based on the characteristics of regional logistics. This paper investigates the regional disparities at city level in northeast China by global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis, with the support of Geoda software. It visualizes the regional distribution of logistics industry by box map, and analyzes the statistical data of northeast China logistic industry by Moran's I scatter plots and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) map. The results show that the Moran's I for per capita GDP is higher than that for logistics industry in northeast China. The paper has derived some implications for policy makers at the end.
