Historical Exporter Dynamics
Historical dataset — World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database, 1997–2014, frozen. The World Bank has not published a newer edition; this never updates.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Belgium's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories.

Top product categories among Belgium's exporting firms by number of exporters, 2013 — each row is a real, separately-reported HS2 product category, never combined with another.
