Geography vs. institutions at the village level
Grimm, Michael; Klasen, Stephan - 2008
There is a well-known debate about the roles of geography versus institutions in explaining the long-term development … Robinson (2001) was to address this last point by using settler mortality as an instrument for geography-induced endogenous … mechanisms from geography via institutions to economic development outcomes. In particular, we examine the determinants of …

Cursed by no coast: How regional landlockedness affects income within countries
Jetter, Michael; Mösle, Saskia; Stadelmann, David - In: Economics Letters 181 (2019), pp. 70-73
We analyze whether landlocked regions are systematically poorer, using panel data for 1,527 regions in 83 nations from 1950-2014 and exploiting within-country-time variation. Lacking ocean access decreases regional GDP/capita by ≈13%. Specifically, coastal distance matters but not the length...

Coastal proximity and individual living standards: Econometric evidence from georeferenced household surveys in sub‐Saharan Africa
Wild, Frederik; Stadelmann, David - In: Review of Development Economics 26 (2022) 4, pp. 1883-1901
We investigate georeferenced household‐level data consisting of up to 128,609 individuals living in 11,261 localities across 17 coastal sub‐Saharan African countries over 20 years. We analyze the relevance of coastal proximity, measured by the geographic distance to harbors, as a predictor...

Landlockedness and Economic Development: Analyzing Subnational Panel Data and Exploring Mechanisms
Jetter, Michael; Mösle, Saskia; Stadelmann, David - 2017
This paper revisits the hypothesis that landlocked regions are systematically poorer than regions with ocean access, using panel data for 1,527 subnational regions in 83 nations from 1950-2014. This data structure allows us to exploit within-country-time variation only (e.g., regional variation...

Modelling multilateral trade resistance in a gravity model with exchange rate regimes
Cobham, David; Adam, Christopher - Centre for Dynamic Macroeconomic Analysis, University … - 2007
In estimating a gravity model it is essential to analyse not just bilateral trade resistance, the barriers to trade between a pair of countries, but also multilateral trade resistance (MTR), the barriers to trade that each country faces with all its trading partners. Without correctly modelling...

Exchange rate regimes and trade
Adam, Christopher; Cobham, David - Money Macro and Finance Research Group - 2007
A ‘new version’ gravity model, is used to estimate the effect of a full range of de facto exchange rate regimes, as classified by Reinhart and Rogoff (2004), on bilateral trade. The results indicate that, while participation in a common currency union is typically strongly...
