International Trade Explorer

Free interactive dashboard of world trade for students and the public: compare any two countries, see where a country's exports go, and test the gravity model with USITC ITPD-E data, 1986–2023.

Three ways to explore world trade

• Two countries: exports in each direction, the bilateral trade balance, partner dependence, top industries, the Grubel–Lloyd intra-industry trade index, and gravity variables such as distance, shared borders and trade agreements.
• One country: exports and imports over time, destination regions, top export markets and import sources, top industries, and a live gravity-model regression across all trading partners.
• The world: world trade by sector, the top exporters, region-to-region trade flows, the share of trade under trade agreements, and how far the average dollar of trade travels.

Data
