GDP data from World Economic Outlook. Methodology:Bilateral trade in low carbon technology products are estimated by aggregating, by partner country, HS 6-digit commodities identified as low carbon technology products based on Pigato, Miria A., Simon J. Black, Damien Dussaux, Zhimin Mao, Miles McKenna, Ryan Rafaty, and Simon Touboul. 2020. Technology Transfer and Innovation for Low-Carbon Development. International Development in Focus. Washington, DC: World Bank, and IMF research. Total goods exports and imports by partner country are estimated by aggregating all commodities. Bilateral trade balances in low carbon technology products are calculated as low carbon technology products exports to a given partner country less low carbon technology products imports from a given partner country. A positive trade balance means an economy has a surplus in low carbon technology products with a given partner country, while a negative trade balance means an economy has a deficit in low carbon technology products with a given partner country. Total trade in low carbon technology products by partner country is calculated as the sum of low carbon technology products exports to a given country and low carbon technology products imports from a given country. Methodology Attachment  Low Carbon Technology Harmonized System Codes
