Description

This is the dataset constructed for the paper "Multinational and Comparative Advantage" by Vanessa Alviarez. The data contains information about the foreign activity of multinational corporations at the source-location-sector level, covering 9 tradable sectors and a non-tradable sector, in 32 countries for the period 2003-2012. For this purpose, we combine data of the activity of foreign affiliates (production, employment, and number of establishments) provided by four major databases: OECD, Eurostat, BEA, and Orbis. The appendix of the paper provides a detailed description of this dataset. The included Readme file describes the included datasets and programs that replicate the tables and figures in the paper.
