A study on the impact of logistics industry agglomeration on regional innovation

To explore the law of development of the logistics industry agglomeration level in Shaanxi Province, based on the concept of innovation and win-win in the logistics industry, this paper described how the level of logistics industry agglomeration affected the innovation effect of the upstream and downstream regions. Based on the agglomeration of logistics industry and regional innovation theory, referring to dynamic spatial panel data model, logarithmic forms of the Cobb - Douglas production function model was established. Thus the agglomeration degree of logistics industry was measured, and the statistical description of the variables was carried out, which was used to revise the prediction model. It is found that logistics industry agglomeration development in Shaanxi Province can produce both the upstream and downstream innovation effects. Regional agglomeration of logistics industry in Shaanxi Province has a more significant impact on process innovation than that on technology invention. The agglomeration level of logistics industry is closely related to value increment of traditional industry and its pulling power on the value increment of high-tech industry is relatively small. The results have a strong practical significance on the optimization of logistics industry agglomeration, the innovation space layout and the improvement of the capability of independent innovation of logistics industry.
