      GeoDist makes available the exhaustive set of gravity variables used in Mayer and Zignago (2005). GeoDist provides several geographical variables, in particular bilateral distances measured using citylevel data to assess the geographic distribution of population inside each nation. We have calculated different measures of bilateral distances available for most countries across the world.  Colonial relationship after 1945: 1 =  Origin Country colonized by Destination Country,  Colonial link:1 = Yes Citation:  Mayer, T. & Zignago, S.
