本文提供了欧盟产品级贸易和生产数据的协调程序
This paper provides concordance procedures for product-level trade and production data in the EU
and examines the implications of changing product classifications on measured product adding and
dropping at Belgian firms. Using the algorithms developed by Pierce and Schott (2012a, 2012b), the
paper develops concordance procedures that allow researchers to trace changes in coding systems
over time and to translate product-level production and trade data into a common classification that
is consistent both within a single year and over time. Separate procedures are created for the eightdigit Combined Nomenclature system used to classify international trade activities at the product
level within the European Union as well as for the eight-digit Prodcom categories used to classify
products in European domestic production data. The paper further highlights important differences
in coverage between the Prodcom and Combined Nomenclature classifications which need to be
taken into account when generating combined domestic production and international trade data at
the product level. The use of consistent product codes over time results in less product adding and
dropping at continuing firms in the Belgian export and production data.
