Abstract

The Compatible Trade and Production data base (COMTAP) consists of annual statistics on production, imports and exports of manufactured goods. The key feature of this data base is that both the production and trade statistics are classified according to the same nomenclature, namely, the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). The conversion of both trade and production statistics to the ISIC is approximate because there is usually no direct correspondence between the ISIC and the classification in which the trade and production data are reported to the OECD. This report describes the contents of COMTAP, some of the analytic uses to which it can be put, and the problems encountered in setting up the COMTAP data base. Finally, some examples are given of how the data base can be used to calculate "market penetration" and "export performance" ratios for 23 OECD countries over the period 1970 to 1985 ... La base de données compatibles sur le commerce et la production (COMTAP) contient des statistiques annuelles relatives à la production, aux importations et aux exportations de produits manufacturés. Sa caractéristique essentielle est de classer toutes ces statistiques selon la même nomenclature : la classification internationale type par industrie (CITI). Il n'y a habituellement pas de correspondance univoque entre la nomenclature en produits CITI et les nomenclatures selon lesquelles l'OCDE reçoit les données de commerce et de production. Pour cette raison, la conversion en produits CITI des données de commerce et de production est approximative. Ce document décrit le contenu de COMTAP, certaines des exploitations analytiques auxquelles elle peut donner lieu, et certains problèmes que posait la constitution de cette base de données. Il donne enfin des exemples de l'utilisation de COMTAP pour le calcul des indicateurs de la "pénétration du marché" et "taux d'exportation" pour 23 ...
