Statistical Brief: Who Exports? Who Buys?
Statistical Brief: Who Exports? Who Buys?
Report Number SB/94-23
The Exporter Data Base (EDB) provides detailed data on U.S. exporters for the first time. Prior to the compilation of the EDB, the U.S. Department of Commerce had data only on the flow of merchandise exports.
This Brief presents just a fraction of the many findings implicit in the data and of value to public and private sector data users. It touches upon the number of U.S. exporting firms and locations, their economic characteristics, and the destinations to which they export merchandise.
The EDB is the result of a four-year research project by the U.S. Census Bureau with financial support by International Trade Administration (ITA). Work is currently underway to extend the EDB beyond data collected in the 1987 Economic Census to that collected in 1992, the most recent five-year Economic Census.
