Abstract
The advancement of digitalization is gradually transforming the existing structure of the global economy. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, almost all cross-border transactions had a digital component in 2016. This is also reflected by the growing literature on digitalization and E-commerce. Yet, studies specifically focusing on E-commerce policy are scarce compared with other areas in this domain. By going beyond academic articles and including policy documents in our analysis, this study takes stock of the issues as well as the policy recommendations identified in these publications. Our analysis reveals that to promote an inclusive E-commerce participation, it is imperative to design policies that improve countries' formal institutions, facilitate the inclusion of less-developed countries in the E-commerce space, and enhance E-commerce adoption by small- and medium-sized enterprises. We highlight the significance of collaboration between and solidarity among governments and other stakeholders.
数字化的发展正在逐步改变全球经济的现有结构。根据麦肯锡全球研究所(McKinsey Global Institute)的数据，2016年几乎所有跨境交易都有数字部分。越来越多的关于数字化和电子商务的文献也反映了这一点。然而，与该领域的其他领域相比，专门针对电子商务政策的研究很少。通过超越学术文章并将政策文件纳入我们的分析，本研究对这些出版物中确定的问题以及政策建议进行了评估。我们的分析表明，为了促进包容性电子商务参与，必须制定政策，改善各国的正式制度，促进欠发达国家参与电子商务领域，并提高中小企业对电子商务的采用。我们强调政府和其他利益攸关方之间的合作和团结的重要性。
