摘要：We analyse the link between internet use and foreign sourcing of services and materials inputs. In our empirical analysis using firm level data for Ireland we find, among firms that a priori all purchase inputs abroad, that those who commenced outsourcing from suppliers over the internet (“Adopters”) experience significantly higher growth rates of services offshoring. This result shows in a variety of econometric methods (OLS, Propensity Scoring (Kernel, Nearest Neighbour and Caliper Matching)). Adopting the internet for outsourcing induced an increase in the share of foreign services by 3.2-4.0 per cent.
