The data used in the above paper are provided in two files, and there are
two versions of each. One version is a plain ASCII text file in DOS format,
and the other is a Stata dataset. All four files are zipped in the file
ep-data.zip.

The files data_de.txt and data_de.dta contain the German data set (1093 obs.).
The files data_us.txt and data_us.dta contain the US data set (2767 obs.).

The variables in both files are identically labelled. Each file contains the
following variables:

year		time period
ind		industry code
codeim		importer code
lrex		log real bilateral exports
lrfdi		log real bilateral outward stocks of FDI
lgdt		log sum of bilateral real GDP
lsimi		log (1-[exporter GDP/(exporter+importer GDP)]^2
		- [exporter GDP/(exporter+importer GDP)]^2) 
lrk		log (real capital stock of exporter/real capital stock of 
		importer)
lrh		log (secondary school enrolment of exporter/secondary school 
		enrolment of importer)
lrl		log (labor force of exporter/labor force of importer)
ldist		log bilateral distance between exporter and importer
lkldist		(lrk-lrl)*ldist
lkgdt		|lrk|*lgdt

The order of the variables in the text files is:

  year ind codeim lrex lrfdi lgdt lsimi lkldist lkgdt lrk lrh lrl ldist.

Nominal FDI stocks are provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and
the German Bundesbank. Nominal bilateral exports are from UNO's World Trade
Database. All other variables are from the World Bank's World Development
Indicators (see the paper for a more detailed description).
