Global Trade and Openness Trends from 1800 to 2010

1800-2010 data compares two waves of globalization, before World War One and before the 2007 Great Recession. It describes trends in trade and openness, estimates gains from trade, and investigates causes of openness growth. The dataset is related to a 2016 working paper by Giovanni Federico and Antonio Tena Junguito.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term trends in trade openness based on the described historical coverage from 1820 to 2007.
• Comparing gains from trade across different historical periods as referenced in the description.
• Analyzing the proximate causes of growth in economic openness over two centuries.

Strengths

• Covers a long historical period from 1800 to 2010.
• Compares two distinct globalization waves, providing a basis for historical analysis.
• Linked to a specific 2016 academic working paper, suggesting a research foundation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
