INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS

The book explores the emerging use of transaction-level data from customs in micro-econometric studies of international trade, offering detailed insights into goods traded, including their value, weight, and trade origins or destinations. Unlike previous studies that focused primarily on overall trade volume, this work delves into the specifics of trade dynamics. It presents a thorough survey of international literature and highlights selected studies relevant to Germany, a key player in global trade as the third largest exporter and importer.
