摘要

最近的技术变革已经改变了经济主体之间相互作用的方式。主要的进步之一是有可能以极低的成本广泛传播信息。电子商务是这一变化的重要组成部分，在欧盟内部变得越来越重要。本文分析了欧盟与南方共同市场国家最近达成的贸易协定对电子商务流动的影响。我们利用2019年6月28日宣布的政治协议作为识别的来源。我们使用的数据来自SimilarWeb，这是一家提供全球互联网流量信息的数字市场情报公司。我们的研究结果表明，该协议的宣布对欧盟和南方共同市场国家之间的互联网流量产生了积极影响。据我们所知，这是第一次实证分析该协定和其他协定对电子商务的影响。

EU-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement: Exploring the Impact on E-Commerce

Abstract Recent technological changes have altered the way in which interactions take place between economic agents. One of the main advances is the possibility to broadly disseminate information at very low cost. E-commerce is a significant part of this change, becoming increasingly important within the EU. In this paper we analyze the impact of the recent trade agreement reached between EU and Mercosur countries on e-commerce flows. We take advantage of the political agreement announced on June 28, 2019 as a source for identification. We use data from SimilarWeb, a digital market intelligence company that provides information on worldwide Internet traffic. Our results show that the announcement of the Agreement has had a positive impact on Internet traffic between EU and Mercosur countries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical exercise to analyze the impact of this and other Agreements on e-commerce.

期刊介绍： The Review of Network Economics seeks to help policy makers, academics, and practitioners keep informed of new research and policy debate in network economics and related subjects that are relevant to the study of network industries. By publishing high quality research on topical issues relevant to network industries, it is hoped readers will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the economic issues involved and that this will improve the quality of decision making by private and public organisations, and debate among researchers. The articles can cover specific network industries, or may deal with general issues that have relevance to a number of different network industries, including topics in the economics of networks, regulation, competition law, or industrial organisation. Papers that provide insights into policy debates are especially welcome, as are up-to-date surveys, book reviews, and comments.
