Coastal proximity and individual living standards: Econometric evidence from georeferenced household surveys in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
- Abstract
- We investigate georeferenced household-level dataconsisting 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 coastalproximity, measured by the geographic distance toharbors, as a predictor of individual economic livingstandards. Our results highlight the role of human capital, urbanization, and infrastructural endowments in explaining within-country differences in individual economic welfare.
