Price Elasticity of Demand for Logistics and Transport
Abstract: This article mainly use supply and demand curve model and elastic model to analyze and interpretation the existence of off and peak seasonal phenomenon of express delivery logistics industry in China, especially discuss cause and effect of phenomena such as full warehouse, freight rates, express delivery company 's competitive model transformation in the holidays. depending on the model and Phenomenon make recommendations solutions.
Key words: Demand Price Elasticity express delivery transportation
1. Brief introduction Third-party logistics companies for the provision of goods delivery services will charge a return to compensate for costs incurred in the distribution process, and as a rational enterprise will pursue profit maximization. [1]Price elasticity of demand for Logistics and Transport is referring to degrees of the change in demand caused by changes in prices to a certain extent in a certain period of time. [2]
