Abstract:

In order to study the coordination between China’s postal industry and economic development, this paper estimates the grey-relation entropy change between postal industry and economic development from the year of 1990 to 2009 based on theories of grey-relation entropy and makes a comparative analysis of the two calculation results The analysis results show that the coordination, after several major fluctuations, has maintained a high degree in the past five years, which is closely related to the improvement of the market competition mechanism

Key words: postal industry, economic development, grey-relation entropy
