Trends in the Effectiveness of Russian Logistics in the Digital Economy

The relevance of the research topic is due to the positive influence of logistics on the growth of the efficiency of the use of resources of national economies and, accordingly, the high requirements for methods of assessing the effectiveness of logistics. There are many methods for assessing the effectiveness of logistics at the national level. The choice of the method for determining and increasing the scientific basis for assessing the effectiveness of logistics is a problem. Its solution is possible on the basis of the application of theoretical, expert and economic-mathematical methods. The research objective is to more rigorous scientific justification of logistics costs and to determine the logistics efficiency of national economies, in particular, the economy of the Russian Federation. Research methods include methods of economic theory, expert and economic-mathematical methods. The authors formed a new structure of expenses for business logistics of the Russian Federation (in the structure of costs are costs of fixed capital for transportation and storage), developed a method to bring capital costs to current logistics costs, carried out expert evaluation of logistics performance indicators of the Russian Federation and developed a method for calculating a generalized logistics performance index at the national level.
