Data:
Here you will find import demand and heterogeneous export supply elasticities are produced using a new methodology developed in Soderbery (2018). Estimates are from ComTrade data over the period 1991-2007 for every country and good trade worldwide. Variables are labeled for convenience, but one thing to note is replicating summary statistics requires truncating import demand and export supply elasticities at 100. The untouched nonlinear estimates are provided, which occasionally yield implausibly large values. As such truncation is common when presenting summary statistics.
