Trade agreements and participation in global value chains: Empirical evidence from Latin America

This database was built from secondary and public sources (i. GVC-UNCTAD-EORA; ii. Mario Regional Trade Agreements; iii. CEPII gravity data). The do-file and matlab codes were used to build the data panel (1995 - 2015) with 180 countries with bilateral trade flows in added value. The regional classification is based on United Nations Standard Countries / Area codes. https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/.
