5/27/2023 0 Comments Geodist database![]() ![]() We have calculated different measures of bilateral. GeoDist provides several geographical variables, in particular bilateral distances measured using citylevel data to assess the geographic distribution of population inside each nation. GeoDist makes available the exhaustive set of gravity variables used in Mayer and Zignago (2005). We have calculated different measures of bilateral. The Geographical Distance (GeoDist) Database. The web tools* gave 1972 miles, 7.7 miles, and 25 miles respectively. The Geographical Distance (GeoDist) Database. Note SAS output dis1 and dis2 as blank, and 10.2 miles for dis3. Put "Distance between zipcodes 0211 is " dis3 Put "Distance between zipcodes 5003 is " dis2 Put "Distance between zipcodes 1001 is " dis1 In addition, for the pair that SAS could not calculate, I still could input on a web tool and found out the distance. I selected one of the calculated distances and compared it with the web site tools that calculated the distance between first zipcode and second zipcode and found that the result could not be matched to what the web tool calculations. Code: bys group: egen count count (id) bys id year group: egen pairs count (id) I fix it by this way: Code: egen tagtag (id group) bys group: egen counttotal (tag) egen tag1 tag (id year group) bys id year group: egen pairstotal (tag1) I got 'pairs' all equals to 1, which means there is something wrong here. I then used the GEODIST function to calculate the distances and found that SAS calculated some of pairs but not all of them. In the help for -geodist-, there is simulated data and code to illustrate finding all cell towers within 50km of the block group centroids for the state of Colorado, analogous to finding all schools within SomeDistance of each house. Then I manually merge the ZIPCODE.DATA which has ZIP, x (which I assmed it was latitude)), and y (which I assumed as longitude) with my zipcode pair data. The -geonear- package at SSC, also written by Robert Picard as is -geodist-, contains an option to achieve your ultimate goal. Second, I downloaded manually the recent ZIPCODE.DATA from MAPSONLINE, but found that I actually couldn't save into the SASHELP path becuase no data can be added there. I didn't know why, but when I checked the SASHELP library, it was not there. I first used the zipcitydistance function, but got an error message saying that "" does not exist. I would like to calculate the distance between two columns (about 100 rows) of zipcodes (source zipcodes and destined zipcodes) in SAS university version. ![]()
