Abstract

This technical report compares the 'export sales' variable from the COMPUSTAT Business Information Files with the export data from the Foreign Trade Data (FTD) part of the LFTTD. The analysis of the quality of export data is important to Census planners, as outlined in the 2010 Census document titled Potential Methodological Topics using Foreign Trade Data. The domestic geographic segment of the COMPUSTAT data is compared to the LFTTD export data and differences, which can be related to linking COMPUSTAT to the LBD and LFTTD using the COMPUSTAT†SSEL Bridge File, is documented.
