Haiti's Trade Balance Determinants, 2009–2025

Haiti's annual trade data from 2009 to 2025, compiled from three official Haitian administrative sources. The dataset supports replication of long-run structural analyses, including ARDL-ECM elasticities and vector error correction models. It was created by Claudel Mombeuil and published via Harvard Dataverse in 2026.

Use Cases

• Estimating long-run trade elasticities based on the ARDL-ECM framework mentioned in the description
• Conducting structural VAR analysis based on impulse response and forecast error variance decomposition data
• Analyzing the sensitivity of trade balance to domestic value content (DVC) as described
• Replicating cointegration-based empirical results for a small, open economy

Strengths

• Covers a 17-year time series from 2009 to 2025
• Compiled from three official Haitian administrative sources
• Includes replication code for multiple econometric models (ARDL-ECM, VECM, SVAR)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
