“…However, this does not automatically imply that the existing divide in the use of other digital technologies will follow a similar trend. Our results further emphasize the role played by country specific cultural (e.g., see Gomez-Herrera et al, 2014, for evidence on the role played by language as a barrier to cross-border e-commerce), institutional and regulatory frameworks as factors that shape the potential for the closing of the digital divide, confirming the conclusions that have been drawn by other studies such as Cardona and Martens (2014) and Coad and Duch-Brown (2017). While the scenario design of our projections is arguably a simple benchmark, the method proposed in this study in principle allows for the creation of scenarios based on different developments of the socioeconomic covariates, which can help compare different policy paths aimed at achieving a fully integrated digital single market.…”

Our modelling strategy assesses model uncertainty explicitly and aims to identify the main drivers of differences in digital variables at the household and individual levels in 99 European NUTS-2 regions. Several economic and demographic covariates are found to be robust predictors of these variables. Our benchmark projection results indicate that historical convergence trends in variables related to the access to digital technologies (broadband and internet use) are expected to continue, but that in the absence of particular policy impulses, the digital divide existing in Europe for international e-commerce and e-government interactions is not expected to disappear in the coming years.

“…The Mystery Shopping Survey demonstrated that electronic goods are most likely to be subject to geo-blocking. An earlier 2009 Mystery Shopping survey had already come to similar conclusions (Cardona & Martens, 2014). These results validate the decision to use electronic goods as a benchmark for the geo-blocking impact simulations.…”

In this paper, we present the results of a study which investigated the welfare impact of lifting geo-blocking restrictions to cross-border e-commerce in the EU, using a dataset for consumer electronics products in ten European countries for the period 2012-2105. We simulated two counterfactual scenarios where geo-blocking is either fully or only indirectly removed. This would allow consumers to arbitrage, taking advantage of price differences, and to expand product variety through imports. We computed the welfare effects, as changes in both consumer and producer surpluses. Finally, we extrapolated these partial results to all online sales in the EU28. The results indicate that both consumers and producers would gain from removing geo-blocking restrictions. Smaller countries would benefit comparatively more than larger countries.

“…More and more traditional enterprises have started to enter the industry, fully driving the rapid growth of the economic index [2][3][4]. According to statistics, just in 2018, the overall transaction scale of cross-border e-commerce in China reached an astonishing 4.3 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 37%, and the transaction volume of imported e-commerce also reached 723.7 billion yuan [5].…”

In recent years, with the continuous development of Internet technology and the deepening of economic globalization, cross-border e-commerce has become a new international trade model and an important growth point of foreign trade. With the popularity of international trade, domestic consumers have a deeper understanding of foreign products and brands and willingness to purchase, but at this stage, cross-border e-commerce transactions are not as close to domestic online shopping, and a few have business opportunities. PortUnity is the first among overseas consumers and some avant-garde consumers with a sense of consumption. Most people have not yet reached real cross-border e-commerce, so cross-border e-commerce has broad development potential on a global scale. As a high-tech field, cross-border e-commerce has few relevant theories and literature. Therefore, this article aims to explore the influencing factors of consumer purchase intention of cross-border e-commerce based on a wireless network and machine learning and to provide decision support for the management and operation of e-commerce in order to promote the better development of cross-border e-commerce. This article analyzes the influencing factors of consumers' intention in cross-border e-commerce shopping by combining literature research and empirical research. With the support of wireless networks and machine learning, perceptual-based ease of use and perceived usefulness of the original TAM, the individual influencing factors of cross-border e-commerce consumers' purchase intention and e-commerce platform factors are summarized according to the characteristics and technology acceptance model of cross-border e-commerce. In this questionnaire survey, the author fully explored the survey value of each respondent, and all the 100 questionnaires were successfully recovered, with a 100% utilization rate of data. The research results of this article show that in addition to the originally perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, consumers' income level, education level, age, gender, service, safety index and price of cross-border e-commerce platform, and other factors also affect the cross-border consumption frequency of consumers.
