Abstract: This paper focuses on the export container cargos from Chongqing to Europe in the outbound transport network, considering the two modes of maritime transport and the CSERE (Chongqing-Sinkiang-Europe Railway Express). It has three aims: first, to propose a method to calculate the international transport accessibility with the help of indicators of the convenience and connectivity of the outbound transport; second, to estimate the container cargo volume changes as the CSERE develops, extending the linear expenditure system model and the multiregional input-output model, combined with the stochastic frontier analysis and the multifactor dynamic coefficient generation; and third, to evaluate the effects of the CSERE on the formation of the CILC (Chongqing International Logistics Center) by employing three indicators, i.e., the international transport level, the industry diversity and the CSERE contribution rate. Managerial and policy implications of promoting the CILC are drawn from the test results.
