| Popis: | E-commerce adoption is one core strategic measure of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) Economic Community Blueprint 2025. However, such an effort faces great challenges due to the socio-economic heterogeneity across the member states. This paper integrates individual and country-level drivers to empirically test the model of e-commerce adoption among citizens in ASEAN. The model examines the relationships between four key drivers: demand, supply, infrastructure and regulation, on individual online purchasing behaviour. To advance, we embed and we examine the role of national trust in the model. Using data from 5,883 individuals in six ASEAN countries in 2017, the findings show, ceteris paribus, demand, supply, infrastructure and trust are positively associated with e-commerce adoption. This study sends a strong signal that e-commerce adoption in ASEAN can be enhanced through improvements in the institutions of each member country. |
