Abstract.

The paper presents a survey of approaches and data sources that may be useful for forecast of export growth potential of a country. We considered main studies in the area of analysis of international trade flows. The observed materials were divided into three main groups according to their intended purpose. We suggested a data-driven problem of discovering «growth points” to improve export potential of a country. Conclusions were drawn on further directions of the research using mining of the databases of international trade statistics and semantic search on collections of scientific and technical documents.

Keywords:

export growth potential, patent search, data mining, international trade, customs statistics, growth points, technologies.

PP. 75-85.
