摘要

尽管许多公司在全球数字平台上运营,但小国和公司在国家层面也发挥着至关重要的作用,特别是在危机和全球化放缓期间。本研究调查了国家和公司层面的数字服务贸易模式,并确定了该领域在向初创企业导师和政策制定者提供新信息和工具方面面临的挑战,他们需要更多证据,以便国家当局制定指导和数字计划。该研究还对交易成本理论做出了贡献,解释了如何可能降低交易成本。方法包括使用定量和实验方法,对公司进行逻辑回归,对国家进行对应分析。世贸组织的数据集被用来可视化服务贸易数据,并解释数字化国家的集群。有趣的是,爱沙尼亚在数字服务出口方面与其他后社会主义国家不同,爱沙尼亚是小国之一,人均创业公司密度最高。公司层面的分析显示,从事数字服务贸易的公司与其他公司不同——规模较小,更专注于出口,而且往往由非居民控制。该研究鼓励投资于在数字服务领域取得成功的小国和小公司。

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT: ECONOMIES AND FIRMS TRADING IN DIGITAL SERVICES
Although many firms operate on global digital platforms, small countries and firms also play an essential role at the national level, especially during crises and the slowdown in globalization. This research investigates trade patterns in digital services at the country and firm level and identifies challenges in this area in providing new information and tools to startup mentors and policymakers, who need more evidence for national authorities to develop mentorship and digital programmes. The study also contributes to transaction cost theory, explaining how it is possible to reduce transaction costs. The methodology involves using quantitative and experimental methods, logistic regression for firms and correspondence analysis for countries. The WTO dataset was used to visualise trade in services data and to interpret clusters of digitalised countries. Interestingly, Estonia stands apart from other post-socialist countries in terms of digital services exports, being among smaller countries and hosting the highest concentration of startups per capita. The firmlevel analysis revealed that firms trading in digital services differ from others – being smaller, more focused on exports and more often controlled by non-residents. The study encourages investments in small countries and small firms that trade successfully in digital services.
