The Results Of Heteroskedasticity Test Done For Model II Essay

Decent Essays

The result of heteroskedasticity test done for Model II is also shown in Table 5.13 below. The null hypothesis of no heteroskedasticity cannot be rejected this time too. That means the standard errors, T-statistics and F-statistics done for the model are valid. Table 5. 13 Heteroskedasticity Test Result for Model II F-statistic 0.714 Probability 0.722 Obs*R-squared 9.893 Probability 0.625 5.6 T test for Coefficient Significance The government expenditure variables were hypothesized to have a positive effect on GDP of the country. This implies that the coefficients on those independent variables are expected to be positive and a one-tailed test is appropriate. For Model I, the T-test results (Table 5.14) showed that log(RE) and log(CE), which represent recurrent and capital expenditure respectively are relevant variables while foreign aid is not.
