2. Deep Trade Agreements database 2.0 (vertical depth)
This database provides detailed information on the content of a sub-sample of eighteen policy areas most frequently covered in a set of agreements currently notified to the WTO between 1958 and 2022. For each agreement, the database covers the stated objectives and substantive commitments, as well as aspects relating to transparency, procedures and enforcement. This database represents the most comprehensive effort in terms of the coverage of policy areas and the granularity of information within each area. This database is the result of collaboration with experts in different policy areas from academia and from other international organizations such as the ITC, OECD, UNCTAD, and WTO.
