After publication of the original article (Henn Reference Henn2023), it came to the author’s attention that an error was introduced to Table 2 in the typesetting process.

In Table 2, the row “Treatment × recognized” was incorrectly shifted, resulting in a misplaced coefficient and the misplacement of all standard errors in that row.

Table 2. Effect of Distance to State on Perceptions of Traditional Authorities (Revised Version)

Note: *p<0.1; **p<0.05; ***p<0.01. This table shows the results of specification 1 by institutional context with the traditional leader z-score as the dependent variable. Column (1) shows the correlation between log-distance and traditional leader z-score in the full sample. Column (2) uses the RD design with a binary treatment indicator. Column (3) includes border region fixed effects and clusters standard errors at the district level. Column (4) has an intensive treatment indicator. Column (5) includes geographic controls. Column (6) is the paper’s main specification and scales the treatment indicator by how much distance affects state capacity following Figure 1. Standard errors, clustered at the administrative unit level, are shown in parentheses.

The correct version of the table is reproduced here.

The publisher regrets this error.
