Note: Q = quintile; Java region includes Bali; Papua region includes Maluku and Nusa Tenggara. Income quintile according to district-level poverty rate (e.g., Q1 = 20% of districts with highest poverty rate). Absolute (relative) = difference (ratio) between Papua and Java, Q1 and Q5. For education, absolute (relative) between Q1 and Q5. Appendix C shows the educational and poverty level by region. Boldface values show statistical significance at 5% level (see Table 4 for the OLS regression outputs conducted in STATA 15).
