Abstract
Based on the comprehensive measures of digital technology and cross-country services trade database, our study empirically examines the impacts of digital technology on export in services. We find that digital technology significantly promotes services export. However, the impact varies in different modes of supply. Digital technology significantly promotes service export in the mode of cross border delivery, consumption abroad, and commercial presence rather than the mode of the natural person movement. Heterogeneous analysis shows that the trade impact of digital technology is more pronounced in developed countries and the countries with higher levels of digital openness. Based on both the empirical analysis and the case studies, three main channels of the enhancement of tradability, the function of digital platforms, and innovation of new trade models are discussed for the influencing mechanisms of digital technology.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asian Economics provides a forum for publication of increasingly growing research in Asian economic studies and a unique forum for continental Asian economic studies with focus on (i) special studies in adaptive innovation paradigms in Asian economic regimes, (ii) studies relative to unique dimensions of Asian economic development paradigm, as they are investigated by researchers, (iii) comparative studies of development paradigms in other developing continents, Latin America and Africa, (iv) the emerging new pattern of comparative advantages between Asian countries and the United States and North America.
