This indicator captures economic competition between countries by using export data. Competition on export-markets of two countries A and B is defined in terms of the distribution of their exports among the respective export partners. If the trade volumes of A and B are similarly distributed among the sales markets, then there is a high degree of competition.
Coding rules
We used export data of the United Nations Comtrade dataset (https://comtrade.un.org/) for 164 countries from 1962 to 2018. The country sample and the calculation of indicator (including the Phyton script) is described in detail in the technical paper: Mossig, Ivo; Heuer, Hendrik; Lischka, Michael; Besche-Truthe, Fabian. 2021. “Measuring global competition in export markets and export sectors.” SFB 1342 Technical Paper Series/8/2021.
