  27. Computation of outflow is discussed in the Appendix. Inflows are people moving into a given district due to partition, outflows are those moving out. Distance is measured as the straight line to the border from the center of a district. City dummy was created from the 24 largest cities (in terms of population) from 1931. This data was obtained from the Historical Atlas of South Asia (Schwartzberg, 1978). Weights are used to give more importance to those areas with more migrants. Some areas that receive few migrants who are all engaged in agriculture (say) could affect results even though they are not important in terms of overall inflows, This table examines the impact of distance, outflows and the presence of a city in that district on the proportion of agriculturists in the inflow in that district

  30. 1978, Computation of outflow is discussed in the Appendix. Inflows are people moving into a given district due to partition, outflows are those moving out. Distance is measured as the straight line to the border from the center of a district. Minorities in India are Muslims. In Pakistan and Bangladesh minorities are Hindus and Sikhs. The remaining populations in each country is considered the majority while computing the minoritymajority ratio. City dummy was created from the 24 largest cities (in terms of population) from 1931, This table examines the impact of distance, outflow, minority-majority ratio and the presence of a city in a district on the proportion of men in the inflow population

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
