Notes: Ad valorem equivalents of transport costs are taken as the sum of transport charges divided by import values at the 5 digit SITC revision
2 level under each GTAP code. Uncoded circa 1980 AVEs are the simple average of available AVE estimates from 1979, 1980, and 1981; likewise
for the circa 2003 AVEs with available 2002, 2003, and 2004 estimates. A concordance between SITC revision 2 and GTAP is derived from CEPII
(2007). For duplicate SITC codes in the CEPII mapping the mode GTAP sector was used. Weighted averages are weighted by shares of 1980
or 2003 imports; rates used to fill in missing data are not considered.
