Abstract
The endogenous factors that drive logistics performance have generated substantial literature. Our understanding of exogenous factors, such as national institutions, that determine logistics performance is still underdeveloped. We used a path analysis to examine the influence of six institutional constructs on logistics performance for 116 countries. Our findings show that five of the six institutional constructs—political risk, financial risk, economic freedom, political freedom, and competitiveness—have direct or indirect influences on logistics performance. Our model was tested using summated variables. Future research may aggregate manifest variables to ascertain relevant institutional variables for a parsimonious model.

Political stability generally plays pivotal role in the process of economic development of any country. In this paper, we investigated the direct effect of political stability on the economic performance of Bangladesh for the period of 1984-2009. Two different techniques of cointegration have been used to analyse the long run and short run effect. The Engle-Granger method of cointegration did not find any cointegration while Bound Testing Approach did .Once cointegration is found the long run re...

Based on institutional theory, this study investigates the effects of three institutional pressures on top managers' posture towards reverse logistics implementation: government, customer, and competitor pressures. Survey data from 209 manufacturers of Pearl River Delta (PRD) in China reveal that institutional pressures have a statistically significant positive influence on top managers' posture towards reverse logistics implementation. In addition, while top managers' posture is strongly relate...

The ownership strategy of multinational enterprises (MNEs) i.e. the choice between wholly owned subsidiary (WOS) or international joint venture (IJV) is an extensively studied topic in international business studies. Many past studies concentrated on transactional, economic, location attraction, resource seeking and learning rationales for the ownership strategy of MNEs. However, it is important to note that MNEs enter a new institutional environment also when they enter new international market...

This paper examines the impact of VAT on economic efficiency, which while regarded as distortionary remains inevitable for economic development. Using data from 115 countries from 1984 to 2014, this research further investigates the moderating role of country governance on the link between VAT and economic efficiency. The results suggest that the extent to which country governance mitigates the effect of VAT on economic efficiency is contingent upon the way the country groups prioritize the deve...

Confirmation warehouse financing is an important model in supply chain finance. This type of financing has special characteristics due to the existence of the reverse repurchase link, and it increases the risk commitment of the core enterprise at a certain level. Previous research on supply chain financial risk mostly settled in ‘all-industry, multi-model’, ignoring the special risks of single mode. To supplement the vacancies in the current research, the special risks of supply chain finance sh...

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of logistics strategies (flexibility, collaboration, and differentiation) as antecedents of supply chain agility (SCA) and financial performance. Toward this end, we develop an integrative model based on the strategy–structure–performance paradigm, the resource-based view, and the relational view. Using structural equation modeling, we test the model with survey data gathered from 279 companies. The findings indicate that logistics strategies infl...
