This paper presents a comparative analysis of the level of development of the logistics industry in the eastern, middle and western areas in China based on panel data and related models. Proxies of logistics supply and demand are selected reasonably. The results show that development of logistics has had positive effects on economic growth, but there are obvious differences in the three major regions. The more developed the regions are, the larger role the logistics infrastructure plays in economic growth; on the other hand, the less developed the regions are, the smaller role the cargo turnover plays that contributes to economic growth.
