| Summary: | The authors have prepared this paper as
a companion to the Trade and Production database, which
contains trade, production, and tariff data for 67
industrial and developing countries at the industry level
for 1976-99. The sector disaggregation in the database
follows the International Standard Industrial Classification
(ISIC), with data provided at the three-digit level (28
industries) for all 67 countries and at the four-digit level
(81 industries) for 24 of these countries. The production
data are from the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization's Industrial Statistics Database at the
three- and four-digit level of ISIC. They include value
added, total output, average wages, capital formation,
number of employees, number of female employees, and number
of firms. The trade data are from the United Nations
Statistics Division's Commodity Trade (Comtrade)
database (through the World Bank's World Integrated
Trade Solution, or WITS, software) and include imports and
exports. Data on mirror exports (reported by trading
partners) were obtained using WITS. The trade data are
aggregated by region and income group, as defined by the
World Bank. A separate data set provides bilateral trade
flows (by partner) at the industry level. The data on
average tariffs (most favored nation) are from the Trains
database maintained by the United Nations Conference on
Trade and Development and from the World Trade
Organization's Trade Policy Reviews and Integrated
Database. The database also provides an input-output table
for each country using data from version 4 of the Global
Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database. The database is
available on request on CD-ROM in a series of ASCII files
and Microsoft Excel worksheets. It is also available on the
Web at http://www.worldbank.org./research/trade. |
