Transition Timing, Land Productivity, and Population Density in 1500 CE

Summary – This figure depicts, using the income per capita data-restricted sample, the partial regression line for the effect of transition timing (land productivity) on population density in the year 1500 CE, while controlling for the influence of land productivity (transition timing), absolute latitude, access to waterways, and continental fixed effects. Thus, the x- and y-axes plot the residuals obtained from regressing transition timing (land productivity) and population density, respectively, on the aforementioned set of covariates.
