and recently downloaded the bulk dataset from OEC, which is fantastic to have.

but from the OEC data
I was wondering if the OEC did some cleaning or harmonizing with the COMTRADE data, which might have affected the earlier years? Or since the UCD data is in nominal terms, OEC put the data in real terms? If so, what was the base year used?
Please let me know when possible. Thank you. I really appreciate having this website up.
