本文探讨了在航海和航空运输技术出现之前，地理隔离程度的跨国变化，以研究其对地球仪经济发展进程的影响。实证调查表明，史前的地理隔离对发展进程产生了持续的有益影响，并促成了当代各国生活水平的差异。(JEL：O10、F15、N7）
This paper exploits cross-country variation in the degree of geographical isolation, prior to the advent of seafaring and airborne transportation technologies, to examine its impact on the course of economic development across the globe. The empirical investigation establishes that prehistoric geographical isolation has generated a persistent beneficial effect on the process of development and contributed to the contemporary variation in the standard of living across countries.
