"Information Economics and Policy" Journal recent issue (March, 2008) contains an interesting article by George Clarke from The World Bank, Has the internet increased exports for firms from low and middle-income countries.

Hi Tilek. I found your resource very interesting and useful. But what about russian language? It would be good option to make it available for more people. By the way, this article cost 30 USD and it is given very brief summary. Can you post full article?
Good luck,
Talant
Thank you, Talant!
For now I am concentrating on English-language articles. If there is someone interested in blogging in Russian on this topic I would be happy to add him/her as a collaborator.
I cannot post full article because firstly, I don't have it and secondly, even if I had it would be illegal. ;)
