wiiw Tradability Dataset
The wiiw Tradability Dataset is an outcome of the project 'Tradability of Output and the Current Account in Europe'.
The dataset comprises information on a newly created tradability index, an indicator describing a country’s specialisation in the production of tradable goods. The index may also predict export openness of a country, given its economic structure. The tradability index is calculated on the basis of ‘tradability scores’ of 14 broadly defined sectors, using export-to-value-added ratios. Data are provided for a sample of 46 European countries over the period 1995-2014.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the OeNB Jubilee Fund (grant N° 16566) that funded the project during the period July 2015 to December 2016.
