USMCA Investment Commitments Gravity Analysis Data

US International Trade Commission data supports the gravity analysis for investment commitments under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement. The dataset was used in USITC Publication 4889 to model the agreement's economic impact. It provides the empirical foundation for the investment analyses detailed in appendix J of the official report.

Use Cases

• Model bilateral investment flows using gravity analysis variables from the USITC report
• Analyze the structural parameters of trade and investment commitments between the US, Mexico, and Canada
• Replicate or extend the econometric modeling for USMCA's impact on specific industry sectors

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative US International Trade Commission (USITC)
• Directly supports the modeling in a formal USITC publication (4889) and investigation (TPA 105-003)
• Specifically designed for gravity analysis of investment commitments under the USMCA

Limitations

• The underlying data columns and sample size are not publicly documented
• The dataset's structure and specific variables used for gravity modeling are unknown
• Data is tied to a specific 2020 report, potentially limiting temporal relevance for ongoing analysis
