The ongoing fall of relative hardware prices stimulates the computerization of the economy and increase demand for software. 4 ICT Market Dynamics, Outsourcing and Offshoring There was a strong expansion of ICT in the US in the 1990s – as is visible from the doubling of the US share of ICT in value-added, reaching about 10% in 2001 – and a similarly strong expansion in the EU. Not only have production and trade in hardware strongly increased, trade in digital services has also grown considerably; in the EU, this has occurred very strongly in telecommunications in the post-1998 liberalized EU framework.

Not only have production and trade in hardware strongly increased, trade in digital services has also grown considerably; in the EU, this has occurred very strongly in telecommunications in the post-1998 liberalized EU framework. Market opening up in telecommunications and the privatization of telecommunications brought about a mutual invasion of EU markets through foreign investors as well as increasing trade in international services, namely to the extent that services trade should depend relatively strongly on international telecommunications costs.

As ICT is facilitating the production of intermediate goods – the value-added chain can be easier sliced – we have a third argument in favour of higher foreign direct investment. Thus ICT should contribute to more foreign direct investment; in the context of EU eastern enlargement this implies that EU accession countries potentially stand to benefit more strongly from foreign direct investment inflows than in a world without ICT. J. Welfens and Michael Vogelsang pan/Asia. Finally, let us note a cricital caveat with respect to the Kleinert model and the ICT-related conclusions, respectively, namely the fact that intermediate goods production can also take place abroad.
