Data Characteristics Data Characteristics Reference period Reference periodThe OECD generally attempts to provide the longest possible time series for each member country. Thus data are often presented for periods before a country became a member of the Organisation. Information on the precise membership dates of all OECD countries can be found at OECD Membership Dates.
As most countries have now moved to the new EBOPS 2010 standards, their most recent data can be found in the EBOPS 2010 dataset. The EBOPS 2002 database is maintained in order to give users access to the longest possible time-series but it is no longer updated.
Population & Scope Population & Scope Statistical population Statistical population Sector coverage Sector coverageThe aim of the publication is to assemble and disseminate balance of payments data on trade in services at the most detailed partner-country level available. To the extent that countries report them, data are also broken down by type of service according to the EBOPS 2002 classification.
Other Aspects Other Aspects Quality comments Quality commentsThere has been a growing interest in monitoring patterns of trade in services around the world, which is partly associated with ongoing trade negotiations and partly due to the increasing importance of services in OECD economies. It has been developed to supplement other OECD publications on trade in services to address the data needs of trade analysts. It is also an important part of OECD's programme to facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services, published in December 2002.
Other comments Other commentsThe Task Force on Statistics of International Trade in services maintains a matrix summarizing the status of the trade in services data collection performed by International organizations. The table displays links to the databases as well as update timetables, availability of metadata, availability of bilateral data, and other important characteristics.
