 Impacts of Globalization on Agriculture Logistics Efficiency in the Context of ChinaXiaoxun Ouyang and Yuqin Dai Asian Agricultural Research, 2018, vol. 10, issue 11 Abstract: Under the analysis framework of output distance function, this paper makes overall measurement of rural Agriculture Logistics Efficiency (ALE) by constructing non-parametric production frontier function model using related panel date of 28 provinces over the period 1994-2014 in China. The accession to the WTO is the most important milestone in the process of China’s globalization. It employs the bi-directional fixed effects model and the difference in differences (DID) method to study the impacts of globalization (joining WTO) on ALE and its mechanism of action in the context of China. The results show that the WTO makes ALE of China generally increased by about 34.2%, promoting ALE with a long-term dynamic gradual process; Long-term impact of globalization on ALE is about 83.3%, which is higher than short-term effect; the promotion of ALE is obtained mainly by the improvement of rural logistics infrastructure, rural informatization level, regional division of agriculture and the quality of rural labor force brought by globalization; agriculture logistics professional level has not yet acquired obvious enhancement during the process of globalization in China so far.
