This is addressed in the article. The effect is uniquely found around former Jesuit missions, not Franciscan ones.
> The Franciscans helped, too. The mendicant order had been in the area longer than the Jesuits. It wasn’t expelled. But the Franciscans focused on poverty and health, rather than education and vocation. Valencia found that, perhaps as a result, families’ economic and educational outcomes didn’t vary based on their distance to that order’s missions.
- iguy 8y agoThis would be more convincing if it had a map of where the Franciscans set up shop. Does anyone know of one? The article has a map of where the Jesuit missions were located, and they are in quite a small area, basically in a line about 300km long. So the variable "distance to closest Jesuit" is probably just distance from this region. http://sci-hub.tw/https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjy024 http://sci-hub.tw/https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjy024
