Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors examine the effects of economic structure, globalisation, and governance indicators on the export performance associated with digital-intensive information and communications technology (ICT) goods. A panel data analysis is performed over the 2000–2018 period for 54 countries grouped into two sub-panels of higher digitally-competitive countries (HDCCs) and lower digitally-competitive countries (LDCCs). The results show that industrialisation encourages ICT exports of LDCCs, while globalisation reduces ICT exports for HDCCs. Higher economic complexity encourages HDCCs’ ICT exports. Better governance discourages ICT exports of HDCCs, while it stimulates LDCCs’ ICT exports. ICT imports and ICT exports are associated positively for both sub-panels. Bidirectional causalities are established between ICT exports and the examined predictors. From a global perspective, the chapter provides some insights on digitalisation within the ICT trade approach.
