Data and Gravity: Borchert, Larch, Shikher and Yotov (2020)

International Trade and Production Database for Estimation (ITPD-E)

The database contains consistent data on international and domestic trade at the industry level covering agriculture, mining, energy, manufacturing, and services. The ITPD-E is constructed using reported administrative data and intentionally does not include information estimated by statistical techniques, which makes the ITPD-E well suited for estimation of economic models, such as the gravity model of trade.
