The GeoDist database provides a comprehensive set of gravity variables developed by Mayer and Zignago (2005) to analyze market access difficulties in global and regional trade. It includes country-specific and bilateral data, offering geographical variables and distance measures for empirical economic research. The country-specific file (geo_cepii) contains data on 225 countries, including geographical coordinates, population, languages, and colonial links. The bilateral file (dist_cepii) includes various distance measures and dummy variables for contiguity, common language, and colonial relationships. The database calculates both internal (intra-national) and international bilateral distances in a consistent manner, using city-level data to reflect population distribution. This approach helps in accurately estimating trade impediments by considering internal distances, which are weighted by population shares of major cities. The GeoDist database improves upon existing datasets by enhancing geographical coverage, measurement accuracy, and the number of variables provided. It is widely used in international trade analysis, as well as in other fields such as foreign direct investment, migration, tourism, and political science. The database is available online at http://www.cepii.fr/anglaisgraph/bdd/distances.htm. The main contribution of GeoDist is to compute internal and international distances consistently, which is crucial for accurate trade analysis. The distance calculations are based on the geographic distribution of population, using city-level data to reflect economic activity. This method ensures that internal distances are consistent with traditional international distance calculations, avoiding biases in trade estimates. The database is a valuable resource for researchers in economics and other social sciences.The GeoDist database provides a comprehensive set of gravity variables developed by Mayer and Zignago (2005) to analyze market access difficulties in global and regional trade.
