Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate how service automation is associated with the volume of international trade in services and how the interactions of automation, industry, and national ICT development are associated with it. We use data from the U.N. Comtrade, O*NET Online, the U.N. Global ICT Development Index, and the World Bank Open Data to test our hypotheses. We find that the marginal year-by-year growth rates of international trade in highly automatable services decreased in 2007–2017, whereas those of international trade in less automatable services have increased. ICT development is positively associated with the volume and annual growth rate of a country's service exports, but it is negatively associated with the volume and annual growth rate of the country's service imports. The growth rate of international trade in highly automatable services is lower for importing countries with advanced ICT, but it is higher for exporting countries with advanced ICT.

服务自动化和国家信息和通信技术发展与国际服务贸易有何联系？

摘要本研究旨在调查服务自动化与国际服务贸易量的关系，以及自动化、工业和国家信息通信技术发展的相互作用与之的关系。我们使用联合国商业贸易、O*NET在线、联合国全球信息通信技术发展指数和世界银行开放数据的数据来检验我们的假设。我们发现，2007-2017年，高度自动化服务的国际贸易的边际逐年增长率有所下降，而自动化程度较低的国际贸易则有所上升。信息和通信技术的发展与一国服务出口的数量和年增长率呈正相关，但与该国服务进口的数量和增长率呈负相关。具有先进信息和通信技术的进口国的高度自动化服务的国际贸易增长率较低，但具有先进信息通信技术的出口国的增长率较高。

期刊介绍： Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
