Coastal proximity and individual living standards: Econometric evidence from georeferenced household surveys in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
- Abstract
- We investigate geo-referenced household-level data consisting of up to 206,896 individuals living in 21,826 localities across 28 sub-Saharan African countries over 20 years. We analyse the relevance of coastal proximity as a predictor of individual economic living standards. Our results highlight the role of human capital as well as infrastructural endowments in reconciling the large intra-national disparities in individual economic welfare.
