摘要

人们对电子商务如何影响公司业绩和招聘决策知之甚少。本研究旨在以实证方法评估电子商务对发展中经济体的就业、劳动力需求和劳动力技能构成的影响。我们将智利作为拉丁美洲发展中经济体的一个案例进行研究，在过去十年中，智利的电子商务销售额增长了十倍。我们使用了智利经济部 2017 年公司纵向调查（ELE）中约 6000 家公司的电子商务和就业数据。我们的识别技术基于使用电子商务和不使用电子商务的企业之间的匹配程序。其根本目的是从多个方面对类似企业的劳动力需求进行比较，但电子商务使用情况除外。我们的研究结果表明，电子商务不仅对智利企业的总就业率产生了积极影响，而且通过提高对高技能和中等技能劳动力的需求，对企业的招聘也产生了积极影响。

Is E-commerce an opportunity for boosting employment in developing countries? a study for the Chilean case

Little is known about how e-commerce impacts a firm’s performance and hiring decisions. The aim of this study was to empirically assess the impact of e-commerce on employment, labor demand and the skill composition of labor in a developing economy. We used Chile as a case study of a developing economy in Latin America that has seen e-commerce sales increase tenfold in the last decade. Data on e-commerce and employment for around 6,000 firms from the Chilean Ministry of Economy's Longitudinal Survey of Companies (ELE) for 2017 were used. Our identification technique was based on a matching procedure between firms that use e-commerce and those that do not. The fundamental aim was to compare labor demand among similar firms from multiple aspects, with the exception of e-commerce usage. Our results showed that e-commerce has a positive effect not only on total employment but also on hiring in Chilean firms by boosting the demands for both high and medium-skilled labor.

期刊介绍： The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science expands the frontiers of regional science through the diffusion of intrinsically developed and advanced modern, regional science methodologies throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Articles published in the journal foster progress and development of regional science through the promotion of comprehensive and interdisciplinary academic studies in relationship to research in regional science across the globe. The journal’s scope includes articles dedicated to theoretical economics, positive economics including econometrics and statistical analysis and input–output analysis, CGE, Simulation, applied economics including international economics, regional economics, industrial organization, analysis of governance and institutional issues, law and economics, migration and labor markets, spatial economics, land economics, urban economics, agricultural economics, environmental economics, behavioral economics and spatial analysis with GIS/RS data education economics, sociology including urban sociology, rural sociology, environmental sociology and educational sociology, as well as traffic engineering. The journal provides a unique platform for its research community to further develop, analyze, and resolve urgent regional and urban issues in Asia, and to further refine established research around the world in this multidisciplinary field. The journal invites original articles, proposals, and book reviews.The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a new English-language journal that spun out of Chiikigakukenkyuu, which has a 45-year history of publishing the best Japanese research in regional science in the Japanese language and, more recently and more frequently, in English. The development of regional science as an international discipline has necessitated the need for a new publication in English. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a publishing vehicle for English-language contributions to the field in Japan, across the complete Asia-Pacific arena, and beyond.Content published in this journal is peer reviewed (Double Blind).
