Abstract: We compare readily available product-level export data with hard-to-obtain firm-level export data along six dimensions such as value and the number of destination countries. We find the product data qualitatively match the firm-level data, but not quantitatively, particularly on dynamics. This is due to the categorization of products. However, product data can be used to establish a lower estimate on statistics compared with firm-level data that may be useful in monopolistic competition models of international trade.
