The table reports summary statistics for the main ethnic inequality, overall spatial inequality and administrative unit inequality measures employed in the cross-country analysis. Section 2 and the Data Appendix gives details on the construction of the ethnic inequality measures (Gini Coefficients). All Gini coefficients are estimated using luminosity per capita across ethnic homelands (in Panel A), across linguistic homelands (in Panel B), pixels/boxes of roughly same size (in Panel C), first-level administrative units (in Panel D), and second-level administrative units (in Panel E).
