Notes: The construction of the contract intensity measures uses data from the U.S. Input-Output Tables, as well as data collected by James Rauch. Please see the following article for details on this data: James Rauch. 1999. "Networks Versus Markets in International Trade," Journal of International Economics, 48: 7-35.

I have also constructed contract intensity measures for years between 1963 and 1997.
