Regression analysis is made to estimate the impact of logistics on regional economic growth of Shandong peninsula urban agglomerations from 2000 to 2007. The results reveal that logistics is playing a more important role in pushing regional economic growth than the latter's pulling effect on logistics development. However, logistics' pushing effect on economy is diminishing year by year.
