电子商务已成为21世纪发展最快的新兴产业。然而,世界各国的官方经济统计中对这方面的信息还没有形成成熟的统计模式,大部分国家也没有相应的统计数据。这种状况严重阻碍了电子商务的发展。美国是世界上电子商务活动开展得最早的国家之一,其电子束外的统计工作开展的也比较早。 E-commerce has become the fastest growing emerging industry in the 21st century. However, there is no mature statistical model for this kind of information in the official economic statistics of all the countries in the world, and most countries do not have corresponding statistics. This situation seriously hindered the development of e-commerce. The United States is one of the earliest countries in the world to carry out e-commerce activities, and its statistics work outside the electron beam is also carried out earlier.
