The table reports the results of separate regressions estimated on the sample of provinces in the Center-North (columns 1 and 2) and in the Center-South of the country (columns 3 and 4). The dependent variable is total daily movements in columns 1 and 3, and daily local movements, in columns 2 and 4. The dummy variable for provinces in the top 75th percentile of civic capital is defined on the relevant sub-sample of provinces. Standard errors clustered at the province level are reported in parentheses. ∗∗∗ significant at 1% or less; ∗∗ significant at 5%; significant at 10%.
