Information Technology, Transactions Costs and Patterns Of Globalization in Developing Countries

Author

  • Jeffrey James

Abstract

Though there are a number of mechanisms through which information technology promotes globalization, what is common to these mechanisms is that they can all be interpreted as a reduction in transactions costs between the trading partners. Thus interpreted, we show that developing countries differ in the extent to which, via reductions in transactions costs, they gain from increased trade and foreign investment as ratios to total output.
