Red hollow markers: above-median redundancy. Blue filled markers: below-median redundancy. Specifications include country fixed effects, year fixed effects, country-specific linear trends, and region×year and income-group×year fixed effects. Standard errors clustered at the country level; 95% confidence bands. Source: Cariolle (2026).
