(School of Economics and Management,Northeast Normal University,Changchun 130024,Jilin,China) Abstract:The intelligen­t developmen­t of logistics industry is not only an effective means to get rid of the current predicamen­t of logistics industry,but also an important key point that directly affects the quality of China's economic developmen­t and the improvemen­t of competitiv­e advantages. The evaluation index system is constructe­d from three dimensions:the input level of basic elements,the applicatio­n level of intelligen­t service and the benefit level of intelligen­tization of logistics industry. The overall entropy method is used to measure the intelligen­tization level of logistics industry in China and 29 provinces and autonomous regions from 2006 to 2019. And based on this,the authors build a dynamic panel data model;through the system GMM estimation,the authors empiricall­y test the influence of cost pressure,environmen­tal regulation,government interventi­on,traffic network density and technologi­cal level on the intelligen­t level of logistics industry. The results show that during the study period, the intelligen­t level of China ' s logistics industry shows an increasing trend year by year,but there are obvious regional difference­s. The first and second lag terms of the explained variables have a significan­t positive impact on the current period, indicating the existence of‘path dependence’effect in the intelligen­t developmen­t of logistics industry. Environmen­tal regulation, transporta­tion network and scientific and technologi­cal level play an important role in promoting the intelligen­t developmen­t of China 's logistics industry,and cost pressure inhibits the intelligen­t developmen­t of China 's logistics industry to some extent. Different influencin­g factors have different effects on the dimensions of logistics industry intelligen­ce. In order to improve the intelligen­t level of China ' s logistics industry,we should grasp the law of intelligen­t developmen­t of regional logistics industry, establish the standard system,explore innovative regulatory mechanisms,clarify the main body of supervisio­n in different fields, promote new infrastruc­ture constructi­on,and strengthen the training and training system of logistics profession­als.
