World Bank's Exporter Dynamics Database provides an indicator on the destination entry rate of surviving exporters, derived from customs transaction records. This dataset offers country-year level statistics on firm-level export behavior. The data is compiled by the World Bank from official customs sources.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between exporter survival rates and the mean number of new destination markets entered.
- Model country-level trade resilience using the destination entry rate of surviving firms as a key feature.
- Benchmark national export promotion policies by comparing the 'Destination Entry Rate of Surviving Entrants: Mean' indicator across countries and years.
Strengths
- Data originates from official national customs authorities, ensuring a high degree of factual accuracy.
- Provides a standardized, comparative metric ('Destination Entry Rate of Surviving Entrants: Mean') across multiple countries.
Limitations
- Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting reproducibility assessments.
- The aggregation to country-year level loses firm-level granularity present in the underlying customs transactions.
