Exporter-level customs data on export transactions, aggregated into country-year indicators. The dataset focuses on the standard deviation of the share of new destinations in the total export value for surviving entrants. It is produced by the World Bank's Exporter Dynamics Database.
Use Cases
- Analyze the variability in new market penetration among surviving exporters using the 'StDev' indicator.
- Model exporter survival and growth patterns based on destination diversification metrics.
- Benchmark country-level export resilience by comparing the standard deviation of new destination share across nations.
Strengths
- Derived from detailed exporter-level customs transaction records.
- Provides a standardized indicator (StDev) for cross-country comparison.
Limitations
- Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown.
- Aggregation to country-year level loses firm-specific temporal detail.
