| Description |
This paper studies the association between ownership structure and literacy across Spanish districts in the late 19th century. We nd a positive correlation between the ownership rate of the type of livestock mostly used in agriculture (i.e. cattle) and the literacy rate, which is robust to controlling for a large set of factors including spatial correlation. We observe a similar association also for the second type of livestock mostly used in agriculture (i.e. mules). This result suggests that the structure of livestock ownership, which is used as a proxy for land ownership, played a role in shaping literacy rates. We use a province-level analysis to assess the importance of demand and supply channels in determining this correlation.
