Mean differences between less developed (LD) regions and more developed (MD) regions, by dimensional sub-index. Note: The interval plots display 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each mean difference. Each dot represents the value of the mean difference in each dimensional sub-index: negative values in a dimension (below 0) indicate that LD regions perform worse than MD regions in that dimension; positive values in a dimension (above 0) indicate that LD regions perform better than MD regions in that dimension. If an interval does not contain 0, the corresponding means are significantly different.
