It is built on trade and production data collected in 178 countries. Symmetric bilateral trade costs are computed using the Inverse Gravity Framework (Nov. 2009), which estimates trade costs for each country pair using bilateral trade and gross national output. Trade costs are available for two sectors: trade in manufactured goods, and agriculture. Energy is excluded.

It builds a model in which industries differ in the extent to which they use female relative to male labor and countries are characterized by Ricardian comparative advantage in either female labor or male labor intensive goods. The values of "Share of Female Workers in Total Employment by Sectors" are reported for the full country sample, and OECD and non-OECD separately. The values of "Female Labor Needs of Exports" by country and 5-year interval. The "Year" denotes the beginning of a 5-year period, i.e., year = 1960 denotes an average over 1960-1964
