dc.description.abstract
This paper explores official trade data to identify patterns of smuggling in
international trade. Our main measure of interest is the difference in matched
partner trade statistics, i.e., the extent to which the recorded export value
in the source country deviates from the reported import value in the
destination country. Analyzing 4-digit product level data for the world’s five
largest importers for the period from 2002-2006, we find that the reporting
gaps are highly correlated with the level of corruption in both partner
countries. This finding supports the hypothesis that trade gaps partly
represent smuggling activities.
