Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of digital service trade on within-country income inequality based on a panel dataset covering 100 countries from 2005 to 2019. We find consistent evidence that digital service trade has a negative effect on income inequality in general. This effect is shown to be statistically significant in high-income and middle-income countries while it is insignificant in low-income countries.
