Abstract: 
With the rapid development of regional logistics and regional economy in China, the relationship between regional logistics and regional economy has become a research focus in the logistics-related field. We use the regional logistics and economical data in 30 provinces of China, exercise C-D production function, construct the spatial panel autocorrelation model and the spatial econometric model, finally confirm the spatial correlativity between regional economic growth and regional logistics. By using the spatial package of Matlab software, we identify there is the remarkable spatial quantitative autocorrelation of the Chinese regional economic growth and regional logistics.
