International Trade and Production Database for Simulation (ITPD-S) 

The database contains consistent data on international and domestic trade at the industry level covering agriculture, mining, energy, manufacturing, and services. The International Trade and Production Database for Simulation (ITPD-S) fills the needs of simulation analyses. Its data has the same level of detail as the ITPD-E, but with missing domestic trade observations filled in. This is done in steps relying on theory, and ensuring internal consistency. Hence, in combination, ITPD-E and ITPD-S provide researchers and policy analysts with mutually consistent databases for estimation and simulation.

ITPD-S-R2025 is derived from ITPD-E-R2025. It contains 349,443,202 observations, most of which are from administrative data sources while others are estimated using a variety of methods described in the technical documentation.
