TradeProd


Description


The Trade and Production Database (TradeProd), provides data on international and domestic trade flows and trade protection. The database covers 165 countries and 9 industrial sectors over the period 1966-2020. TradeProd is intended for econometric estimation of the gravity equation and also includes a yearly balanced dataset necessary for counterfactual exercises using new quantitative trade models.

Methodology
-


TradeProd combines trade data from Comtrade, production data from UNIDO, and tariff data from WITS. TradeProd provides an easy match with the CEPII-Gravity dataset for the other gravity variables (Conte, Cotterlaz & Mayer 2022). It is based on an earlier version presented in de Sousa, Mayer & Zignago (2012). The database will be updated annually.
