Languages (mother tongue, lingua francas or second languages) spoken by between 9% amd 20% of the population of the country. Languages (mother tongue, lingua francas or second languages) spoken by at least 20% of the population of the country.

Official or national languages and languages spoken by at least 20% of the population of the country (and spoken in another country of the world) following the same logic than the "open-circuit languages" in Mélitz (2002). Number of cities for each country used to calculate the weighted distances described in Mayer and Zignago, 2011. Variable coded as 1 when the city is the most populated of the country and as 2 otherwise. Variable equals to 1 if the city is the capital of the country, to 0 if the city is the most populated city (maincity equals to 1) but not the capital, and to 2 in the cases of two capitals, if the city is the most populated but the "second" capital or the previous capital. Names of capitals or main cities of the country in French. Names of capitals or main cities of the country in English. continentĬontinent to which the country is belonging. landlockedĭummy variable set equal to 1 for landlocked countries. See Head and Mayer, 2002 for more on this topic. Internal distance of country i, dii=.67*sqrt(area/pi) (an often used measure of average distance between producers and consumers in a country). Variables indicating whether the country is landlocked and which continent it is part of are also included.Ī data frame with 238 observations on the following 34 variables.
GEODIST ARMENIA ISO
There are firstly three identification codes of the country according to the ISO classification, the country's area in square kilometers, used to calculate in particular its internal distance. In cepiigeodist: CEPII's GeoDist Datasetsĭescription Format Source References Examples
