Abstract：To measure smart logistics efficiency in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region,panel data on input indicators,output indicators,and influencing factors from 2013 to 2022 are utilized.The data envelopment analysis(DEA)model is applied to calculates technical efficiency,pure technical efficiency,and scale efficiency of regional smart logistics.The Tobit model is used to analyzes the impact intensity of economic development level,industrial factors,energy utilization rate,digital sales revenue,and internet development level on smart logistics efficiency.Recommendations for enhancing efficiency are proposed.Results indicate:during the period 2013 to 2022,Beijing′s smart logistics technical efficiency shows stage-wise leaps,continuously increasing from 2013 to 2015 and remaining efficient after 2016 except 2021;Tianjin achieves efficiency in 8 a,with inefficiency only in 2015 and 2019;Hebei achieves efficiency in 7 a,with inefficiency in 2015,2016,and 2020;low pure technical efficiency primarily causes inefficiency in Beijing while low scale efficiency dominates in Hebei;economic development level,industrial factors,and digital sales revenue exhibit significant positive effects on smart logistics efficiency,whereas energy utilization rate and internet development level show insignificant impacts.Recommendations include optimizing industrial structure,strengthening economic drivers,and advancing smart logistics development.
