Monthly Wheat Trade Flows for Gravity Model Analysis, 2010-2024

Replication data for the study 'Geopolitical Shocks, Delivery Networks, and Wheat Trade: Evidence from the Russia-Ukraine War'. Monthly bilateral wheat trade flows (HS-1001) from UN Comtrade are collapsed for a structural PPML gravity framework. Maxwell Amponsem published the dataset on Harvard Dataverse in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Estimate trade flow impacts of geopolitical shocks based on the PPML gravity framework described
• Analyze bilateral wheat trade patterns based on monthly flow data from 2010-2024
• Replicate empirical findings from the associated manuscript using the provided master do-file

Strengths

• Data spans 14 years (2010-2024) of monthly bilateral trade
• Derived from the authoritative UN Comtrade database
• Includes a master do-file to reproduce all tables and figures from the manuscript

Limitations

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