Abstract：
The Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically changed how information is shared and processed worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the globalization of information, causing shifts in communication, information dissemination, and technology. This paper investigates the impact of pandemics-related uncertainty on the index of de facto informational globalization (the measure based on high-technology exports, international patents, and used internet bandwidth). The paper uses the panel dataset of 18 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries from 1990 to 2020. The results indicate that pandemics-related uncertainty negatively affects the informational globalization level in the CEE economies. The findings are robust in utilizing different estimation techniques and considering NATO member CEE countries.
摘要：
新冠肺炎大流行极大地改变了全球信息共享和处理的方式。COVID-19大流行深刻影响了信息全球化，导致通信的变化，信息传播,和技术。本文研究了与流行病相关的不确定性对事实上的信息全球化指数的影响（基于高科技出口的度量，国际专利,和使用的互联网带宽)。本文使用了1990年至2020年18个中欧和东欧(CEE)国家的面板数据集。结果表明，与流行病相关的不确定性会对中东欧经济体的信息全球化水平产生负面影响。这些发现在利用不同的估计技术和考虑北约成员中东欧国家方面是稳健的。
