A researcher investigating the factors related to a country's economic growth between 2005 and 2010 estimates the following model for a sample of countries (using cross sectional data): GROWTH = a + bx GDPH2005 + cx INV + dx EDUC + ex RIGHTS +fx ELEC where: GROWTH is the country's economic growth (percent change of GDP per person at constant prices between 2005 and 2010); GDPH2005 is the log of the country's level of GDP per person in 2005 (US$ at 2005 prices); INV is the country's share of gross investment in fixed capital (Gross Fixed Capital Formation) as a percentage of GDP in 2005; EDUC is an indicator of the level of education of the population (total enrolment in secondary schools as a % of population aged 15 and over); RIGHTS is an indicator of the strength of legal rights (0-weak to 12-strong): ELEC is the percentage of population who have access to electricity; The results of the estimation are: Variables Coefficients Standard Errors t-values p-values GDPH2005 -0.1322 0.0170 -7.7600 0.0000 INV 0.0129 0.0031 4.1900 0.0000 EDUC 0.0036 0.0013 2.8000 0.0060 RIGHTS -0.0010 0.0091 -0.1100 0.9120 ELEC 0.0034 0.0010 3.5800 0.0010 Constant 0.6751 0.1139 5.9300 0.0000 From the dropdowns select True for the variables that, according to the model's results (using a 5% significance level), are positively associated with economic growth for the countries and the time period covered by the data.
