We use a gravity model of trade to investigate the effect of internet use on
aggregate trade flows. We apply a structural gravity model using up-to-date PPML
estimation techniques to a sample of bilateral exports of 120 countries over the period
2000–2014. In contrast to previous studies, we segment countries according to their
degree of product complexity and estimate the model for each segment. The results show
that internet use increases trade, and the segmentation by product complexity is more
sensitive to internet use than segmenting by level of income. The main results also
indicate that countries trade more if similar levels of ICT use are coupled with similar
degrees of product complexity in the trading countries. [-]
