Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to discover how language affects a country's capability to export computer and information services as well other ICT-enabled services. It provides theoretical and empirical analysis on the role played by language in export of IT-enabled services. The estimation results are consistent with theoretical hypothesis that productivity, the Internet and language contribute to a country's ability to export computer and information services. Countries where English is the official language or widely spoken have a significant advantage over their competitors in exports of computer and information services
