Overview: This paper attempts to present a statistical view of e-commerce. It discusses the definition and classification of e-commerce transactions and suggests some broader indicators of e-commerce activity. The paper describes current Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) work on developing e-commerce indicators and suggests that a reasonable statistical approach is the collection of information on e-commerce elements of interest. These include the value of certain types of e-commerce trade, such as sales made via public web sites, or the incidence of particular enabling technologies, such as access to the Internet. Information on such elements can then be used as indicators of activity and, eventually, of change in activity.
