The Contribution of Data to Advances in Research in International Trade: An Agenda for the Next DecadeJonathan EatonPennsylvania State University, College of the Liberal Arts - Department of Economic Samuel S. KortumUniversity of Chicago - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) September 2010 American Economic Association, Ten Years and Beyond: Economists Answer NSF's Call for Long-Term Research Agendas Abstract: Observations from new sources of data spawned at least two revolutions in research in international trade during the last several decades. Yet many sources of data remain inaccessible to researchers. The situation calls for both the gathering and dissemination of data and the construction of modeling frameworks that can link data of various types at different levels of aggregation. Applying such a framework to the appropriate data will link the aggregate outcomes that policy‐makers focus on with their implications for individual households and producers in the economy. Such an agenda has the potential to confront a wide range of issues. An important one is understanding the connections between the invention and international diffusion of technology and growth, employment, and welfare.
