Welcome to the USITC's Open Data webpage
Open data refers to publicly available data structured in a way that enables data to be discoverable and usable by end users. The Administration has taken steps to make government-held data more accessible to the public for innovation and economic growth. On May 9, 2013, the President signed an executive order that made open and machine-readable data the new default for government information. Making information about government operations more readily available and useful is core to the promise of a more efficient and transparent government. Explore our open data catalog at www.usitc.gov/data.json, which uses the common core metadata schema for federal agency open data listings.

- APEC TiVA Data (ZIP): In 2013, the APEC economic leaders agreed upon a global value chains (GVC) framework that would initiate APEC’s strategic work in creating an enabling environment for GVC development and cooperation. Over time this framework encouraged the creation of a TiVA database for the APEC region—an initiative that was officially kicked off by China and the United States in 2014.
Gravity Portal
- Dynamic Gravity Dataset (DGD): The gravity data describes country
characteristics and relationships between two trading partners. This data covers the period between 1948 and
2019 and contains variables describing macroeconomic indicators, geographic characteristics, trade
facilitation measures, cultural relationships, and institutional stability measures. In order to accurately
reflect the dynamic nature of the globe, the dataset follows the formation and dissolution of countries each
year and features extensive time variation in corresponding variables.

- Domestic and International Common Language Database (DICL): The database contains index measures of linguistic similarity both domestically and internationally. The domestic measures capture linguistic similarities present among populations within a single country while the international indexes capture language similarities between two different countries. The indexes reflect three aspects of language: common official languages, common native languages, and linguistic proximity across languages. This database has many uses, such as in in models of bilateral flows—including FDI, migration, and international trade—as well as in regional or country level analyses.
- International Trade and Production Database for Estimation (ITPD-E): The database contains consistent data on international and domestic trade at the industry level covering agriculture, mining, energy, manufacturing, and services. The ITPD-E is constructed using reported administrative data and intentionally does not include information estimated by statistical techniques, which makes the ITPD-E well suited for estimation of economic models, such as the gravity model of trade.
