Data statement
Certain datasets utilized in this study are subject to restrictions and cannot be fully disclosed to the public. The Exporter Dynamics Database (EDD) for the extended sample, with the exception of China, is accessible through the Microdata Library. However, the EDD indicators for China are derived from confidential firm-level customs data and are therefore not publicly available.
The firm-level EDD data for the core sample is also restricted and generally not accessible to external researchers, with the exception of data from 10 specific countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Guatemala, Jordan, Malawi, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Yemen. It should be noted that the data for these countries covers a shorter timeframe than that analyzed in the study. For detailed instructions on how to request access to the data and further information on data coverage, replicators are advised to refer to the README file included in the (external) reproducibility package.
