Research on coordinated development between metropolitan economy and logistics using big data and Haken model

To quantitatively study the relationship and mutual effects between metropolitan economy and logistics is an important, yet pending issue, which can scientifically guide the urban planning and investment. Through the identified evaluation indexes of metropolitan logistics and economic development, this paper first builds up an evaluation process model of metropolitan economic and logistics development, based on big data analytics (BDA), the entropy evaluation method, and the maximum deviation method. BDA can help extract the exact data about the indicators of metropolitan economy and logistics. Then a Haken model is adopted to ravel out the dynamic co-evolutionary law of economy and logistics in five Chinese cities, which complements the above static evaluation. The results show that the economic development is an order parameter and plays a key role in the coordinated development of metropolitan logistics and economy. However, from 2013 to 2014, these five cities had not established an orderly evolved positive-feedback mechanism through which economic development promotes the coordinated development of metropolitan logistics and economic development.
