Question Completion Status
A researcher is using data for 82 countries to find a possible omitted variable bias when running a regression of GDP per capita only on RAD expenditure, omiting a
variable trade. To be unit free, the rescarcher took logs of all the three variables: (edpcap (-log(GDP per capita)) asa dependent variable, and ird (-log(RAD
expenditure)) and Itrode (-log(trade)) as explanatory variables. Ater running regressions, the researcher got the following two estimation results
