Abstract:It is of great significance for the comprehensive development of Yunnan Province to promote the development of logistics industry relying on the construction of logistics channel. Based on the annual time series data of logistics industry and economic development in Yunnan Province from 2003 to 2019, an evaluation index system was established and the interactive relationship between logistics industry and economic development in Yunnan Province was empirically studied by constructing vector autoregression (VAR) model. The results show that the logistics industry in Yunnan province plays a certain role in promoting economic development, but the economic development is not enough. Yunnan Province should constantly optimize channel transportation structure, promote information technology empowerment, develop new logistics mode, and stimulate logistics demand with the demand of people's livelihood.
