Note
Results below are for the global sample of aggregate group (AG) level variables from 1946 to 2017. Results were also positive and significant for the global sample since 1886 (p<0.001) and before 1946 (p<0.05), the European subsample since 1886 (p<0.05) and the African subsample since 1886 (p<0.001). Results were robust to a number of different controls.
