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. Directional and asymmetric by design — each block below is one country's own self-reported data on its firms exporting to the other side, not a shared corridor figure.

Belgium's own reported data on Belgium firms exporting to Germany (1997–2013).

The 2013 mean is 15x the median — a small number of large exporting firms account for most of the export value; the typical firm exports far less than the average figure suggests.

"TEV" is the World Bank's own term from its Exporter Dynamics Database — not expanded anywhere in its published metadata. Trade-economics convention suggests "Total Export Value", but that is this site's own inference, not a sourced definition.

2012 entrant cohort: 67.7% of new Belgium exporters to Germany were still exporting after 1 year.
