(b) Using a cross-country data of 38 countries, we obtain the following equation: Log(eduexp)= -5.43 + 1.23 log(GDP), -0.16 log(population) : R = 0.8853 (se) %3D (0.81) (0.079) (0.078) where eduexp: Education Expenditures (in $000), GDP: Gross Domestic Product (000$), and population (million) for several Countries. Obtain the t-statistic for the population coefficient and test if this coefficient is significantly different from zero. Clearly explain your answer with the help of a diagram. (c) Report the elasticity of education spending with respect to changes in population. Provide justification for your answer. (d) Test using appropriate procedure if GDP and population are jointly significantly different from zero.
