Notes: Columns 1–2 and 3–4 regress the fourth-class housing and illiteracy variables on the indicated covariates. Dependent variables and all covariates are expressed in terms of z scores (a one-unit change represents a one-standard-deviation change). The variables representing population pressure and road, waterway, and town distances were log-transformed (to remove skewness) before the z-score transformation. Conley standard errors allowing for spatial correlation within a 25-km radius are shown in parentheses.
