This indicator expresses the distance between the midpoints of two countries. Time coverage is for 2016. We aim to extend the time coverage in the future. The table includes COW country codes of the sender and receiver country and the distance in kilometers.
Coding rules
The data source is Eurostat/Eurogeographics for the shapefiles of the countries. The midpoint coordinates were calculated by Tobias Tkaczick using ArcGIS. The distances were calculated by Lara Eiser using ArcGIS as well following the same pattern as for the capital distance calculation.
