International Competitiveness

The competitiveness of regions, countries, and industries is revealed by international trade patterns. In line with theory, we have developed a database containing the main indicators used in the analysis of these patterns.

Revealed Comparative Advantages (Balassa Index)
Shift-Share Analysis
Technology Content of International Trade
Lall's Trade Sophistication Index
Export Diversity (Herfindahl Index [HI])
Partner Country Dependence (HI)
Trade Creation & Diversion in Regional Trade Agreements.

Annual data from 2000 until recent is available for all countries of the world, and used in our academic policy-oriented studies.

A limited version of the data (less recent; five-year periods; less detailed industry codes) is made available via our Open Science Framework (OSF) account at a small fee.
