Abstract：Logistics industry is the basic industry of the nation, and its overall operation efficiency is at-tracting more attention from the governments at all levels recently.Total factor productivity ( TFP) is taken as the research object.First, the measurement model of TFP of the logistics industry in Jiangxi province is determined and the evaluation index system selected.Secondly, the logistics TFP of 11 cities in Jiangxi province from 2003 to 2011 is statically analyzed by applying DEA method.Results show that most of the cities are DEA-inefficient.Then, by using software DEAP2.1, Malmquist index, technical efficiency and technology progress rate of 11 cities and four economic zones in Jiangxi province from 2003 to 2011 are dynamically analyzed.Results indicate that technological progress is the key to Malmquist index growth. These results can provide reference for Jiangxi province in formulating logistics industry policies and impro-ving the efficiency of the overall logistics operation.
