Regional Integration Knowledge System

Garnet - Network of Excellence

The database section of the Regional Integration Knowledge System contains:

• Statistical data and indicators on regional integration processes and degrees of regional interdependence
  
  Please note that the presented regional trade indicators do not necessarily cover every underlying bilateral trade flow between the members of the listed regional arrangements. Missing data for bilateral trade flows in the original data source, often caused by only marginally important or unreported trade, are treated as zero values in the calculation of the regional trade indicators. This might affect the accuracy of the indicators for a very small number of regional arrangements but in most of these cases it will not seriously affect the relevance and representativeness of the indicator.
  
  The indicators in RIKS should *not* be regarded as official statistical data; they serve only academic purposes.
