⺠Colonial gold-mining in New Grenada was a key source of variation in slavery. ⺠Slavery has a long-run effect on contemporary development outcomes. ⺠Slavery has a long-run effect on contemporary land inequality. ⺠Slavery has a long-run effect on early 20th-century development outcomes. ⺠No evidence of sectoral specialization or state presence as persistence channels.
