Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firm-product data provide information for various research questions in international trade or innovation economics. However, working with this data requires harmonizing product classifications consistently over time to avoid internal validity issues. The researcher must consider product code changes in the classification systems over the observation period. Harmonization is required because classification systems like the EU classifications Combined Nomenclature (CN) for goods or the Prodcom for the production of manufactured goods undergo several changes. We have addressed this problem and developed an approach to harmonize product codes. This approach tracks product codes from 1995 to 2022 for CN and 2001 to 2021 for Prodcom. Additional years can be conveniently updated. We provide the harmonized product codes for CN and Prodcom in the selected period's first (or last) year. Our approach is summarized in an easy-to-use R package so that researchers can consistently track product codes for their period. We demonstrate the importance of harmonization using the micro-level trade data for Croatia as a case study. Our approach facilitates working with firm-product data, allowing the analysis of important research questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The globalization of the world economies (U.S. trade share in 1998 was 29.3 percent) necessitates improved economic statistics. The interest in developing conceptual economic frameworks for industry and product classification systems has intensified because of the need for data to be comparable for domestic production and trade with information from other countries in that comparability allows for more meaningful analyses of international trade relationships. However existing product data systems are organized differently one from the other, and this presents difficulty in the construction of complete and consistent data bases. Indeed, while this issue of international comparability of data is being discussed in many fora, e.g., APEC, UN, WCO, etc., practicality dictates that the Harmonized System (HS) should serve as the foundation for the goods definitions in any new product (goods and services) classification system developed for the United States. Domestically and internationally there is a need for: (1) a wherever-produced, product-oriented system, (2) a highly disaggregated level of product detail, (3) comparability between domestic production and trade data statistics, and (4) more adequate detail as to services industries. Addressing each of these issues is of major importance. This is so because the data obtained from existing production and international trade classifications are inconsistent; i.e., none of the domestic or nternational product classifications is based upon a single unifying, or even the same, economic concept. The Office of Management and Budget established the Economic Classification Policy Committee with the charge of initiating a "fresh slate" examination of economic classification systems. This U.S. effort was joined by the other members of the NAFTA, and the three countries agreed that conceptually based classifications would be adopted. In 1997, work on constructing a supply-side, production-oriented" industry classification resulted in the adoption of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Work within NAFTA has now begun on developing a "demand-side, market-oriented" product classification. The resulting North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) is intended to provide the requisite comparability of product data. This paper describes several existing classification systems for products and illustrates some of the problems that will be encountered in implementing a demand-side product classification. The paper is designed to serve as background in defining NAPCS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication will take the reader on a Darwinian journey of discovery; we will examine the principles of designing classification schemes with particular emphasis on the idiosyncrasies of the financial sector. Classifications, taxonomies and typologies in general use (including the likes of ISO 10962, Bank of International Settlements OTC classification and ISDA Taxonomies) and those proposed or under development (e.g. Harmonization of the Unique Product Identifier - Dec. 2015) are explored. An investigation is undertaken as to the appropriate mechanisms for representing classifications and how they can be deployed. The potential impact on product design in the light of the new regulatory frameworks (Dodd-Frank and EMIR in particular) is investigated. The reader should bear in mind that, "All regulatory roads lead to data" and this publication is the Killer App for grappling with the minefield of financial instrument and product classification - the latest must have Sat Nav.
