TiVA database access | TiVA 2018 country notes
The goods and services we buy are composed of inputs from various countries around the world. However, the flows of goods and services within these global production chains are not always reflected in conventional measures of international trade.
The development of Trade in Value-Added (TiVA) addresses this issue by considering the value added by each country in the production of goods and services that are consumed worldwide. TiVA indicators are designed to better inform policy makers by providing new insights into the commercial relations between nations.
The indicators are expressed in USD millions at current prices, in case of values, or in percent, in case of shares.
Data presented in the TiVA database provide insights into:
The 2018 edition of the TiVA database provides indicators for 64 economies including all OECD, EU28 and G20 countries, most East and South-east Asian economies and a selection of South American countries.
36 unique industrial sectors are represented within a hierarchy, including aggregates for total manufactures and total services. This edition covers the period 2005 to 2015, with preliminary projections to 2016 for some indicators.
The underlying Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) tables are based on statistics compiled according to the 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA 2008) from national, regional and international sources and uses an industry list based on the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Revision 4. Previous editions of TiVA indicators were based on SNA 1993 and an ISIC Rev.3 industry list. Use of the more recent international standards has inevitably resulted in revisions to the TiVA indicators.
