In the multiple regression model with two explanatory variables the OLS estimators for the three parameters are as follows (small letters refer to deviations from means as in zi = Zi - ): You have collected data for 104 countries of the world from the Penn World Tables and want to estimate the effect of the population growth rate ( )and the saving rate ( )(average investment share of GDP from 1980 to 1990)on GDP per worker (relative to the U.S.)in 1990. The various sums needed to calculate the OLS estimates are given below: = 33.33; = 2.025; = 17.313 = 8.3103; = .0122; = 0.6422 = -0.2304; = 1.5676; = -0.0520
(a)What are your expected signs for the regression coefficient? Calculate the coefficients and see if their signs correspond to your intuition.
(b)Find the regression , and interpret it. What other factors can you think of that might have an influence on productivity?
