Abstract: Drawing on transaction cost theory and knowledge-based view, this research aims to investigate the impact of logistics performance on high-tech industries' exports (HTEX) through SDG-9.B. In addition, it tests the moderating effect of SDG-9.5 on the indirect association between logistics performance and HTEX through SDG-9.B. Data were collected from the World Bank, covering 168 countries from 2007 to 2018. Using a mediation and moderated mediation analysis techniques, results revealed that the logistics performance index (LPI) as a proxy of logistics performance could positively affect medium and high-tech industries manufacturing (MHTI) as a proxy for SDG-9.B; MHTI significantly mediates the relationship between LPI and HTEX. Furthermore, research and development as a proxy for SDG-9.5 can significantly moderate the indirect relationship between the LPI and HTEX through MHTI. This research will help extend global supply chain literature, through focusing on LPI and exports while using international data.
