What is ICTs and Bilateral Trade in Africa about?

The authors examine the effect of ICTs on bilateral trade between 32 African countries from 1995-2019 using an augmented gravity model. They find that increased use of mobile phones, fixed phones, broadband, and internet access significantly increases bilateral trade in Africa. The authors suggest investing more in telecommunications infrastructure and public-private partnerships to reduce costs of accessing and using new ICTs.
