Study title

The published R-Syntax file can be used to replicate the results reported in the study by Bettina Rudloff, "Die EU zwischen unilateralen Nachhaltigkeitsansätzen und Handelsabkommen. Wege zu besseren Partnerschaften, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik", which investigates the economic implications of the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) on international trade, focusing on high-risk commodities such as cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya, and wood. Using trade data from ITC, Eurostat, and UN Comtrade spanning 2018-2022, the study assesses trade exposure, revenue importance, and import relevance for partner countries and regions like Mercosur. The results emphasize the strategic relevance of EUDR-regulated trade flows for both the EU and its partners. This dataset supports replication of the findings and future analyses using similar methodologies. We do not recommend reusing the data for further analysis, as it will quickly be replaced by more recent and correct data for subsequent years. However, the analysis file can be used to replicate the calculations for future years. Further information on the sources can be found in the download area and in the method report.
