Question: Testing for multicollinearity in multi regression model: Givenen the model: Log(Foreign Direct Investment Inflows)= b0 x b1.Exports of goods and services x b2.Imports of goods
Testing for multicollinearity in multi regression model:
Givenen the model:
Log(Foreign Direct Investment Inflows)= b0 x b1.Exports of goods and services x b2.Imports of goods and services x b3.log(Population with ages 15-64) x b4.log(GDP per capita) x b5.Inflation-consumer prices.
The VIF results and correlation matrix is given in the image. As VIF0.8, what should we say about the multicollinearity of these variables? Is there any multicollinearity that exists? If yes, what should we do as a remedy in this situation?
Thank you
