We try to improve upon the existing similar datasets in terms of geographical coverage, quality of measurement and number of variables provided. The other major explanatory variable is the country-industry interaction of. The CEPII GeoDist dataset provides the data on previous colonial status of the.

The GeoDist webpage provides two distinct files: a country-specific one (geo_cepii)and a dyadic one (dist_cepii) including a set of different distance and common dummy variables used in gravity equations to identify particular links between countries such as colonial past, common languages, contiguity. a wide range of variables, such as mood and sentiment (Dragouni, Filis. Factor Variable name in original dataset and description Form Source CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL FACTORS Historical union CEPII GeoDist. GeoDist provides several geographical variables, in particular bilateral distances measured using city- level data to assess the geographic distribution of. For most of them, different calculations of “intra-national distances” are also available. We have calculated different measures of bilateral distances available for most countries across the world (225 countries in the current version of the database). GeoDist provides several geographical variables, in particular bilateral distances measured using citylevel data to assess the geographic distribution of population inside each nation. GeoDist makes available the exhaustive set of gravity variables used in Mayer and Zignago (2005). derive from the GeoDist database of CEPII (distwces variable CEPII, 2017.
