Note. The dependent variable is the national saving rate.
q: Adult survival index, Ygr: GDP growth rate, D1: young dependency rate, ?q: change in the adult survival rate, PRI: price of investment goods, yXX dummy variables for year XX, N: number of observation. “P-value, Ygr” is the p-value of F-test of the null hypothesis that the both coefficients of q·Ygr and D1·Ygr are zero. “Pvalue, year dummies” is the p-value of F-test of the null hypothesis that all the year dummies are zero. “Ygr Effect” is the partial effect of an increase in GDP growth. “P-value Hausman” is the p-value of Hausman test for the null hypothesis that economic growth rate is exogenous. Figures in parentheses are standard errors.
