Nigeria's AfT-Export Dataset

This dataset contains panel data used to analyse the impact of Aid for Trade (AfT) on Nigeria’s agricultural export performance from 2005 to 2018. The data is structured at the bilateral level, capturing Nigeria’s trade with multiple partner countries over time. It includes detailed information on bilateral exports, disaggregated Aid for Trade flows (total, economic infrastructure, productive capacity, and trade policy), control variables such as GDP, distance, real and agricultural production, as well as dummy variables capturing trade agreements, linguistic ties, and regional integration (e.g. ECOWAS membership).

The dataset supports fixed effects gravity model estimations and includes relevant economic and institutional indicators drawn from a range of sources including UN COMTRADE, OECD CRS, World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI), CEPII, and the WTO.

This dataset is made available for academic and research purposes only. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data, the compilers make no warranties regarding its completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Users are advised to consult original data sources (e.g. UN COMTRADE, OECD CRS, World Bank WDI, CEPII, WTO) for official statistics and definitions.
