  1. The Trade Indicators Project (TIP) New Developments

  2. Achievements during the past 12 months: • Methodological framework for the current indicators elaborated • Multidimensional OECD Trade Indicators database(s) installed: • Macro Trade Indicators (aggregated level) • Micro Trade Indicators (detailed level) • General public access via OECD.STAT

  3. Some key macro indicators have been included in the ‚Economic Globalisation‘ chapter of the OECD Factbook 2006, and several indicators were included in the ‚Aspects of trade globalisation‘ chapter of the OECD Economic Globalisation Indicators (EGI) publication Achievements during the past 12 months: • The Macro Trade Indicators are available both at current and constant prices, the Micro Trade Indicators at current prices only

  4. Achievements during the past 12 months: • Pivot Chart/Table for Macro Trade Indicators available online • Macro Trade Indicators: Country profiles for all 30 OECD member countries available online • OECD Portal of International Trade Statistics & BOP Statistics expanded by the „OECD International Trade Indicators“ chapter

  5. How does this look like at present? • Accessing the Trade Indicators via Internet (and OECD.STAT):

  6. How does this look like at present? • Micro Trade Indicators: 14 data cubes

  7. How does this look like at present?

  8. External Access to TIP (OECD.STAT) 2006

  9. External Access to TIP (OECD.STAT)

  10. Directions for further research • Further the automatisation of the calculation/compilation process of the indicators allowing more regular and consistent updates of all indicators. Dynamic links and automatic update procedures have been tested but need to be integrated in the new working environment. The ultimate goal would be that indicators are automatically recalculated and/or updated when basic data changes. This process would, nevertheless, need a validation routine to avoid accidental release. • Development of advanced visualisation options (e.g. dynamic time axis on which the progress and changing size of country indicators are visualised through time, thus integrating the temporal dynamics). • Still more Trade in Services data is needed containing cross tabulations by products and partner countries (enabling more micro trade indicators for services) • As TIP has been originally designed as set of indicators including “trade plus”indicators, it is still envisaged to add more indicators capable to shed light on globalisation patterns. Aspects such as production, employment, FDI/FATS, intra-firm trade and the role of multinationals need to be integrated into the TIP. A 2nd Roundtable Meeting on Trade Indicators in 2007 is proposed to provide steerage for this process. • Linkage exercises of customs sources with enterprise structural statistics, as discussed at the 1st Steering Group Meeting in Ottawa in more detail, will hopefully allow building up Trade Indicators on enterprise-characteristics-level.The aim would be to have an OECD-wide set of indicators, comparable to and consistent with EU statistics
