The drivers and impediments for cross-border e-commerce in the EU

Estrella Gomez-Herrera, Bertin Martens, Geomina Turlea

Abstract

The rise of the internet is often associated with the “death of distance” or at least the decreasing relevance of geographical distance in the supply of information. We investigate whether distance still matters for online trade in physical goods. We use data from an online consumer survey panel on online cross-border trade in goods in a linguistically fragmented EU market. The analysis confirms that distance-related trade costs are greatly reduced compared to offline trade in the same goods. However, language-related trade costs increase. Moreover, online trade introduces new sources of trade costs such as parcel delivery and online payments systems. On balance, there are no indications that online trade is less biased in favour of home market products than offline trade. We examine options available to policy makers to boost cross-border e-commerce in the EU Digital Single Market. A 1% increase in the use of efficient and flexible cross-border payment systems could increase cross-border e-commerce by as much as 7%. We also show that online trade gives a comparative advantage to English-language exporting countries. Keywords

1. Introduction

This paper empirically investigates the impact of online e-commerce on cross-border trade patterns. The rise of the internet and, more generally, digital communications technology, has led many observers to announce the “death of distance” (Cairncross, 1997). In this view, it does not matter anymore where information is located since it is only a mouse click away and information costs are no longer related to physical distance. For traditional offline trade in physical goods however, the evidence actually points to an increase in distance costs (Disdier and Head, 2008). Trade is based on a combination of information and physical shipping of goods. The question is whether shifting trade from offline to online platforms makes a sufficiently large dent in information costs to change total trade costs and therefore the pattern of trade in goods. Blum and Goldfarb (2006) show that even for pure information products, distance still plays a significant role. They attribute this to
