- Who Benefits from Aid for Trade? Comparing the Effects on Recipient versus Donor Exports (2014, background): “The first effect tends to dominate the latter, 2 See also Munemo (2011) for a similar finding on the effects of total aid on export diversification in recipient countries.”
- Melting Ice Caps and the Economic Impact of Opening the Northern Sea Route (2018, background): “Currently, the econometric literature on the gravity model of bilateral trade relies on measures of physical distances between national capitals as a measure of distance, known as the CEPII database (Mayer and Zignago, 2011).”
- Should everybody be in services? The effect of servitization on manufacturing firm performance (2017, neutral): “For firms located in the same city, we use a measure of the internal distance of the city equal to (2∕3) √ 𝐴∕𝜋, where 𝐴 is the area of the city in km2 (Mayer & Zignago, 2011).”
- Restoring the Tower of Babel: How Foreign Firms Communicate with U.S. Investors (2014, positive): “The variable GEOdist is a country-level variable measured as the natural log of the geographic distance between the main city of the foreign country and New York in the US, as given in Mayer and Zignago (2011).”
- Determinants of Cross-Border Venture Capital Investments in Emerging and Developed Economies: The Effects of Relational and Institutional Trust (2015, neutral): “We follow Mayer and Zignago (2011) by measuring geographical distance as the population density adjusted for distance in kilometers between a country dyad (CEPII Database), where we generally expect a negative effect on venture capital investment activity.”
