ICTs quality and quantity and the margins of trade

Given the importance of fixed costs exporting, we investigate how information and communication technologies (ICTs) relate to extensive intensive margin trade (the fraction products that are exported market share, respectively). We use a novel dataset on quantity quality ICTs, namely number subscriptions (per capita) average (bandwidth). To test this relationship, an augmented Gravity Model Trade with ICTs using panel data controlling for multilateral resistance. Regression results 150 countries over 1995–2014 provide robust evidence matter trade. The is even stronger developing in terms quality. Although matters margin, more. While having device helps producers consumers access world markets, much these devices can share stable connections also matter.
