Abstract:

The aim of this research is to clarify the mediator role of logistic performance and global competition in relationship between corruption perception and gross domestic product. In the literature there are some studies showing that there are other factors besides logistic performance that have effects on GDP. In some of these studies, corruption perception has been found to be influential on both logistic performance and GDP. In this study, a model that evaluates logistics performance together with corruption perception and global competition index is proposed. According to the analysis results, it has been found statistically significant that logistics performance and global competition play mediator role at the same time in the relation between corruption perception and GDP. According to these results, Turkey evaluation has been made. This study is important in terms of the role of LPI and GCI indices in the relationship between CPI and GDP. This research sheds light on what can be done to increase the benefits of investments in the logistics sector to the national economy. According to the results of this research, it is necessary to struggle with corruption and to take remedial measures in global competition while making investments to increase the logistics performance of a country.
