There is some research about trade restrictiveness, for example: http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTRES/Resources/469232-1107449512766/ecoj_2209.pdf
Also here: http://econ.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/EXTDEC/EXTRESEARCH/0,,contentMDK:22574446~pagePK:64214825~piPK:64214943~theSitePK:469382,00.html

Not sure, but I think it's based on tariff-data and such... 

hope this helps

Yes, there are. Did you search online? For example, http://www.iccwbo.org/global-influence/g20/reports-and-products/open-markets-index/ has an openness to trade index. WTO, World Bank and similar organizations collect this data.

Do any of these organizations have these data for a large number of country-years? I'm doing time series cross-sectional work.

Looked a bit further, I think I possibly found what you're looking for:

The Overall Trade Restrictiveness Index (OTRI) summarizes the trade policy stance of a country by calculating the uniform tariff that will keep its overall imports at the current level when the country in fact has different tariffs for different goods.

The data:
<http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTRES/Resources/469232-1107449512766/OTRI2009.xlsx>

hope this helps,
