Dataset on climate distance for trade analyses

This folder contains datasets (in dta format) and the STATA do-file that replicate results contained in:
Bozzola, M., Lamonaca, E., & Santeramo, F. G. (2023). Impacts of climate change on global agri-food trade. Ecological Indicators, 154, 110680. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2023.110680
Lamonaca, E., Bozzola, M., & Santeramo, F. G. (2024). Climate distance and bilateral trade. Economics Letters, 237, 111624. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2024.111624

The datasets contains:
(i) time-varying measures of long-run climate conditions of countries
(ii) the difference in long-run climate conditions between country-pairs, here defined as Climate Distance.
The sample includes twenty economies accounting for two-third of global agri-food exports and representatives of different prevailing climates, observed over the period 1996-2015.

Researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in the evaluation of the economic impacts of climate changes may use climate distances for further analyses.
