Ireland's Historical Trade Data from 1948 to 2020

The Absell-Federico-Tena World Trade Historical Database provides a long-term record of Ireland's international trade. The dataset was developed by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, New York University Abu Dhabi, and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. It was last updated on the dataverse platform in May 2024.

Use Cases

• Studying Ireland's integration into global markets based on the bilateral trade data implied by the database's nature

Strengths

• Covers a 72-year time range from 1948 to 2020
• Developed by a named academic collaboration from multiple institutions
• Last update recorded on 2024-05 05:58:22
