Export Growth in Relation to World Exports and Change in Export Market Share
Percentage point difference, country growth minus global growth
The numbers reported in the tables are log first differences. They represent an approximation of the percentage change in the variable of interest. Strictly speaking, the percentage change in a variable Y at period t is defined as (Y(t)-Y(t-1))/Y(t-1), which is approximately equal to LOG(Y(t)) - LOG(Y(t-1)). The approximation is almost exact if the percentage change is small. For example, a 5% percentage change in delta logs is equal to 4.88%, i.e. ln(1+5%)=0.0488.

But it’s possible to learn even more by drilling down further into the sectoral score to see the effect of each broad sector (HS 2 digit level), each level of skill (low, medium, high), each level of technology (high-tech, low-tech, primary, other), and by processing stage (consumption, capital, intermediates and primary). It’s also possible to drill down into the effect of each broad world region.
