Replication Data for: Revisiting the Effect of Colonial Institutions on Comparative Economic Development

Answer the question truthfully.  <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|> Here is the Description of a dataset. Description:'European settler mortality has been proposed as an instrument to predict the causal effect of past political institutions on differences in contemporary economic development. We examine the relationship between European settler mortality, regional temperatures, and economic output in former European colonies to understand what effect climate had on mortality and comparative development. We find that (i) mortality increases with mean regional temperatures and (ii) economic output decreases with mean temperatures. Conditioning on the continent of settlement and accounting for states that were not independent as of 1900 further undermines the causal effect of political institutions on economic development. Our findings demonstrate that geographic factors contributed to differences in economic development and settler mortality.' .
