‘Kurgan’ and ‘Kulob’ stand for districts in Kurgan-Tube and Kulob zones respectively as defined in ft. 15. Reference category: resident of Sugd (Column 6). The dependent variable is the ln(remittances from private sources). All regressions are estimated with robust standard errors clustered at the district of residence level. Regression in Col. 7 is estimated with district-level fixed effects. ‘psu’ – primary sampling unit.
Data source: as for Table 2.
