Standard errors for Tobits are based on clustering; and, for 2SLS, standard errors are robust ones accounting for clustering. One asterisk indicates a 10% significance level and two a 5% level.

Instruments for columns 2 and 4 are % population living in coastal villages 2000 and % population government employees 1990 (for districts with 1999 vote shares).
