This paper focuses on the sluggish growth of world trade relative to income growth in recent years. The analysis uses an empirical strategy based on an error correction model to assess whether the global trade slowdown is structural or cyclical. An estimate of the relationship between trade and income in the past four decades reveals that the long-term trade elasticity rose sharply in the 1990s, but declined significantly in the 2000s even before the global financial crisis. These results suggest that trade is growing slowly not only because of slow growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but also because of a structural change in the trade-GDP relationship in recent years. The available evidence suggests that the explanation may lie in the slowing pace of international vertical specialization rather than increasing protection or the changing composition of trade and GDP.

Changing Patterns of Global Trade outlines the factors underlying important shifts in global trade that have occurred in recent decades. The emergence of global supply chains and their increasing role in trade patterns allowed emerging market economies to boost their inputs in high-technology exports and is associated with increased trade interconnectedness.The analysis points to one important trend taking place over the last decade: the emergence of China as a major systemically important trading hub, reflecting not only the size of trade but also the increase in number of its significant trading partners.

Extract: Import volumes reported to the United Nations (U.N.) for both food and feed grains from 1962 to 1983 differed 32-52 percent from reported export volumes. Because, in theory, reported import levels should eaual those of reported exports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must reconcile trade data inconsistencies to present the most reliable trade numbers to the public. USDA studied the inconsistencies in U.N. import and export data to improve reconcillation methods and thus improve the USDA data base. This report reviews USDA methods of editing trade data, cites examples of possible problems in reconciling food and feed grain data, and examines the causes of data inconsistencies.
