地理和经济发展数据集(Geography and Economic Development ) 数据摘要： The data are used in paper John L. Gallup; Jeffrey D. Sachs; Andrew Mellinger, 1999, Geography and Economic Development. This paper addresses the complex relationship between geography and macroeconomic growth. We investigate the ways in which geography may matter directly for growth, controlling for economic policies and institutions, as well as the effects of geography on policy choices and institutions. We find that location and climate have large effects on income levels and income growth, through their effects on transport costs, disease burdens, and agricultural productivity, among other channels. Furthermore, geography seems to be a factor in the choice of economic policy itself. When we identify geographical regions that are not conducive to modern economic growth, we find that many of these regions have high population density and rapid population increase. This is especially true of populations that are located far from the coast, and thus that face large transport costs for international trade, as well as populations in tropical regions of high disease burden. Furthermore, much of the population increase in the next thirty years is likely to take place in these geographically disadvantaged regions. 中文关键词： 地理,实证增长模型,运输费用,热带疾病,热带农业,城市化,人口, 英文关键词： geography,empirical growth models,transportation costs,tropical disease,tropical agriculture,urbanization,population, 数据格式： TEXT 数据用途： The data can be used for data mining. 数据详细介绍： Geography and Economic Development The data are used in paper John L.
