Qatar's Historical World Trade Data from 1948 to 2020

Qatar's trade flows from 1948 to 2020 are documented in this historical database. The project was developed by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, New York University Abu Dhabi, and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. The dataset was last updated on the platform in May 2024.

Use Cases

• Model Qatar's economic growth based on its historical trade integration.
• Analyze shifts in Qatar's trade partnerships over the 72-year period.

• Benchmark Qatar's trade performance against other nations in the broader historical database.

Strengths

• Developed by an academic consortium from multiple international universities.
• Last platform update was recent (May 2024).

Limitations

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