英文文献摘要:
This paper discusses some of the reasons why the Internet might have a positive effect on the international trade in agricultural and horticultural commodities between the United States and its partners. It provides some simple econometric tests which differentiate the export and import effects of Internet infrastructure and cost. It also shows that the effect may be dependent on product heterogeneity/perishability. Given the growth of the Internet over the past decade, coming to terms and measuring these effects is important to both producers and policymakers in considering the competitive impacts of this new technology.
本文讨论了互联网可能对美国及其合作伙伴之间的农业和园艺商品的国际贸易产生积极影响的一些原因。它提供了一些简单的计量检验来区分互联网基础设施和成本的进出口效应。它还表明,影响可能取决于产品的异质性/持久性。鉴于互联网在过去十年的发展,对于生产者和决策者来说,在考虑这项新技术的竞争影响时,了解和衡量这些影响是很重要的。
