Abstract: Under the background of China′s economy shifting from high-speed growth to high-quality development, the high-quality development of logistics industry is an important driving force to promote high-quality economic development. This paper uses the DEA-Malmquist model to calculate the total factor productivity of logistics to measure the development quality of the logistics industry in China′s 31 provinces(municipalities and autonomous regions),and explore the factors affecting the high-quality development of the logistics industry, and applies crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis method to study the effect path of these factors on the development quality of China′s regional logistics industry from the perspective of configuration. The result shows that there are currently three high-quality development paths for China′s logistics industry, namely, the traditional path with the hinterland economy as the core condition,the open path with the open level as the main core condition, and the comprehensive path with innovation, government intervention, and open level as the main core conditions. These paths accelerate the pace of our country′s construction of a modern logistics power.
