BACI (Base pour l'Analyse du Commerce International)
International Trade Database at the Product Level
BACI is the World trade database developed by the CEPII at a high level of product disaggregation. BACI is developed using an original procedure that reconciles the declarations of the exporter and the importer. Original data are provided by the United Nations Statistical Division (COMTRADE database). The harmonization procedure enables to extend considerably the number of countries for which trade data are available, as compared to the original dataset. BACI provides bilateral values and quantities of exports at the HS 6-digit product disaggregation, for more than 200 countries over the period 1995-2007.
BACI is available for researchers already subscribing to the United Nations COMTRADE database. Users of BACI have to testify that their organization has a UN Comtrade Site License subscription to download BACI.
