Note: Dependent variable: Age-standardized Health Complexity Index (AHCI). Main independent variable: GDP per capita in logs (GDPpc). Columns (1)-(3): Fixed-effects 2SLS/IV; AHCI is instrumented: To save space, we only include the first-stage estimated coefficients of the instruments. The results for the rest of the variables are available upon request. Column (4): One-step diff-GMM. All regressions include time dummies. Robust standard errors are in parentheses. F-test gives the F-statistic for the joint significance of the instruments in the first stage. DWH-test is the Durbin-Wu-Hausman test of endogeneity of the regressors. Weak-id gives the Cragg-Donald F-statistic for weak identification. LM-weakid gives the Kleibergen-Paap Wald test of weak identification. Hansen (p-value) gives the p-value of the Hansen test of overidentification. AR(1) and AR(2) are the p-values for first- and second-order autocorrelated disturbances.
