STAN Bilateral Trade Database by Industry, Mixed End-Use category, 1990-2015

Description

The STAN Bilateral Trade Database for industrial analysis (BTD) belongs to the STAN Family datasets and is designed to provide analysts and researchers with information on trade in goods broken down by reporter, partner country (or geographical/economic area) and economic activity. STAN (Structural Analysis Databases) Bilateral Trade Database by Industry and End-use category (BTDIxE) provides values of imports and exports of goods broken down by industrial sectors and by end-use categories. BTDIxE was designed to extend the BTD database which provided bilateral trade in goods by industry only. BTDIxE allows, for example, insights into the patterns of trade in intermediate goods between countries to track global production networks and supply chains, and it helps to address policy issues such as trade in value added and trade in tasks. The list of reporters covers all OECD Member Countries and 30 non member economies, including the BRIICS (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa). It should be noted that underlying series for OECD countries are from OECD International Trade by Commodity Statistics., while data for non OECD economies are from UNSD database COMTRADE. The list of partners covers all 34 OECD countries, 30 non member economies, the Rest of the World, the partner Unspecified, and Total World. Trade flows are divided into 46 economic activities and 9 categories including capital goods, intermediate goods and household consumption.
