Intens = intensity dummy 1 if ICTi > 0.5. Table shows proportion of firms intensive in ICT.
Slightly different pattern with ICTi and Intens than with BROADpct, DE, AT , FR and SI
doing far better and NO worse.

ICT as Export Enabler
Proportion of Manufacturers with E-sales
Per cent
Source: ESSLimit Dataset. Fair colours means exports of goods only.
Results indicate that ICT opens up international markets, but might not be equally
important for the size of sales abroad. Exporting firms more often high in ICT usage,
labour productivity, innovativeness and skills.
