• Relative to broadband and website, e-commerce adoption is still fairly low
• … and there is substantial variation between countries
Sketches from recent OECD publications

• Magnitude of cross-border e-commerce is limited
• … pointing at serious obstacles to ‘go international’
Sketches from recent OECD publications

• Magnitude of cross-border e-commerce is limited
• … similarly for online purchases by individuals
• … pointing at a lack of confidence and trust
Sketches from recent OECD publications

• Online purchases by individuals are up…
• But still substantial country variation
• … and a gap between young and old
Sketches from recent OECD publications
![Page 8: USE OF E- COMMERCE DATA International comparisons and a micro-perspective Michael Polder, OECD-STI/EAS Business Statistics User Event: How E-commerce is](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfca1a28abf838ca9722/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• A new development: ‘m-commerce’ and ‘m-payment’
• Increasing importance and policy interest
• … But measurement?
Sketches from recent OECD publications
![Page 9: USE OF E- COMMERCE DATA International comparisons and a micro-perspective Michael Polder, OECD-STI/EAS Business Statistics User Event: How E-commerce is](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfca1a28abf838ca9722/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Relatively few firms are engaging in e-commerce
… especially cross-border e-commerce
Likewise, few individuals buy online from abroad
However, overall, online purchasing is increasing
… although a significant age gap remains
Overall there is still a substantial amount of cross-country variation in the adoption of e-commerce by both firms and households

• ICT usage by enterprises• Relation of e-commerce with
– Competition– Innovation– Productivity
• Need firm-level analysis– It is (too) often forgotten that the micro-data
underlying national statistics is a valuable product!
Use of e-commerce data for economic analysis

• Background– Consequences of online trading:
• Lower search cost• Lower transaction cost• Markets become more transparant
– E.g. Brynjolfsson and Smith (2000, Management Science): “Frictionless markets”
• Increases (price) competition• Motivates firms to operate cost efficiently

E-commerce and competition
Markups lower in manufacturing relative to services, which indicates stronger competition in manufacturing

E-commerce and competition
Increases in e-sales and e-commerce in general have significantly lowered markups, in all sectors

• Background– Innovation is a driver of economic growth– Crépon-Duguet-Mairesse (CDM):
• Firms invest in R&D (innovation input)
• … this leads to knowledge generation (product innovation)
• … which ultimately results in increased business performance (productivity)
– Variations:• Griffith et al. (2004): product and process innovation
• Brynjolfsson et al: ICT investments and complementary organizational changes

e-commerce SUBS COMP COMP
• In terms of productivity gains: e-commerce and process innovation complement each other
– That is: combination of both leads greater increase in productivity than the sum of their effects in isolation
• Same for e-commerce and organizational innovation
• Combination of product innovation with e-commerce does not have any excess productivity gains in manufacturing, and leads to lower gains in services (substitutes)

• Background:– Comparability of micro-level studies– What is the impact of institutional setting,
regulation, and policy?– Lack of available cross-country micro-data

• ESSNet projects on data linking and ICT impact (ICT Impact, ESSLimit, ESSLait)
• 14 participating NSOs• ‘Micro-moments database’
– Indicators based on ‘micro-aggregated’ data– … from linked EC, IS, PS, trade databases– … going beyond usual breakdowns of aggregate
data
• Moreover: harmonized ‘distributed’ micro-datasets at various NSOs allow for remote execution type of empirical analysis

Micro-data analysis benefits from
•Increased coverage of firms over time
•Coordination of sampling design between surveys (e.g. innovation and ICT)
•Stability of definitions and concepts over time
•Harmonization of definition and concepts across surveys
•Increased international harmonization allows the analysis of micro-data in a cross-country setting
