World Bank data provides exporter-level information on export transactions from customs sources. It measures the share of new products in the total export value for surviving entrants, focusing on median values. The data is compiled by the Exporter Dynamics Database – Indicators at Country-Year Level.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between product_innovation_share and firm_survival metrics across countries.
