New Trade Data Methodology Developed by the OECD and WTO: TiVA database now available

The Trade in Value-Added (TiVA) database, launched on 16 January, is the outcome of a major data study by the OECD and WTO. TiVA uses an alternative methodology to calculate international trade data – intended to provide more accurate observations on the diversity of value-added. The database can be used for research on foreign direct investment, component sourcing (domestic/external) and diverse aspects of international trade. A new Library page for this resource was launched on 18 January. For more trade and FDI resources, please visit the EUI Library Data Portal.
