Input-output Analysis on the Contribution of Logistics Park Construction to Regional Economic Development

AbstractLogistics Park, as a significant node of modern logistics system and a cluster of logistics industry, has already been considered as a new potential increasing point intended for promoting the progress of urban and regional economics. From the perspective of growth pole theory under the regional economic theory, this paper indicates that the logistics park will be a growth pole for certain cities or regions. Not merely will it form a strong economy of scale, the logistics park will also cast a progressive influence to other economic industries through dominance effect, multiplier effect and polarization-diffusion effect. Taking the modern circulation service base of Chizhou as an example, the direct and indirect economic contribution is calculated by Input-output analysis in the paper. At the end, it can be concluded that every single yuan invested by the construction of the modern logistics service base project in Chizhou will have a 16.7 yuan contribution equivalent in its GDP, with direct contribution value added 0.4 yuan and indirect one 16.3 yuan. In the latter, the values added of backward pulling contribution, forward pushing contribution and consumption stimulation contribution are 0.6 yuan, 7.38 yuan and 8.32 yuan respectively
