This guide provides essential knowledge for selecting and defending data sources for advanced research in international economics. It emphasizes the critical need for data to possess a 'global attribute,' covering trade flows, Global Value Chains (GVC), and cross-country comparisons. Key data types include micro-level customs data (firm-product-destination), cross-country panels (WDI, IMF), and global input-output tables (WIOD/ADB MRIO) for GVC decomposition.
