Trade data for university research

Economics, trade, industrial organization, political science, and supply-chain faculty. PhD students who need a citable extract, not a $30,000 platform seat.

Trusted by research institutions

Cornell University Harvard University University of Illinois University Ulm HKUST

What you need

A file you can put in the replication folder. Named columns. A year range. A license that lets the department keep the extract. We already sell US ocean AMS this way.

What we put in front of you

Start with US ocean bills of lading if the paper is about US imports. Add Vietnam or Mexico if the question is China-plus-one or nearshoring. Add the name-variant file if you are doing entity resolution.

Questions

Can a university buy bills of lading without a PIERS seat?

Yes. Faculty already buy Kirchner US ocean years for a replication folder. Institutional quotes sit under the public list. Delivery is 3 to 7 days, or immediate from the data shop for years we hold.

What file do I buy for a China-plus-one paper?

US ocean bills for the US-arrival side. Vietnam customs if you need the Vietnam declaration. Mexico pedimentos for nearshoring. The Plus One working paper uses the US ocean file.

Do you allow the extract in a replication package?

Say that in the request. University licenses can keep the extract in the department. Redistributing the raw file on a public repo is a different sentence and must be written in.
