Abstract
The objective of presented analysis is to assess quality of data on foreign trade within the Union. Data from Eurostat’s COMEXT database was used. The differences between declared export quantities of foods from a given country and data on imports from this country to other member states gathered by Eurostat have been analyzed. These differences partly result from the adopted statistical thresholds and reflect the quality of the collected data. The authors have compared EU member states based on convergence of data on dispatches and arrivals of goods from each country. Using data discrepancy measures member states were ranked with regard to statistical data quality, which is an innovation in foreign trade research.
