The 2013 Import and Export Market for Compasses, Rangefinders, Navigational Instruments, and Surveying, Hydrographic, Oceanographic, or Meteorological Instruments and Appliances in Chile

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on compasses, rangefinders, navigational instruments, and surveying, hydrographic, oceanographic, or meteorological instruments and appliances in Chile face a number of questions.

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for compasses, rangefinders, navigational instruments, and surveying, hydrographic, oceanographic, or meteorological instruments and appliances for those countries serving Chile via exports, or supplying from Chile via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key
