- Filling Gaps in the U.S. Commodity Flow Picture: Using the CFS With Other Data Sources
- The U.S. Commodity Flow Surveys CFS provide a wealth of data on the movement of freight within the country, by mode of transportation, dollar value, annual tonnage, door-to-door shipment distance and shipment size. Yet gaps in CFS coverage and a lack of spatial and commodity detail limit the value of...
