Cross country GDP growth panel covering the period 1960-1995 used by
Liu and Stengos (2000) and Maasoumi, Racine, and Stengos (2007). There
are 616 observations in total. data("oecdpanel") makes available
the dataset "oecdpanel" plus an additional object "bw".
data("oecdpanel")A data frame with 7 columns, and 616 rows. This panel covers 7 5-year periods: 1960-1964, 1965-1969, 1970-1974, 1975-1979, 1980-1984, 1985-1989 and 1990-1994.
A separate local-linear rbandwidth object (bw) has
been computed for the user's convenience which can be used to
visualize this dataset using plot(bw).
the first column, of type numeric: growth rate
of real GDP per capita for each 5-year period
the second column, of type factor: equal to
1 for OECD members, 0 otherwise
the third column, of type integer
the fourth column, of type numeric: per capita
real GDP at the beginning of each 5-year period
the fifth column, of type numeric: average
annual population growth rate for each 5-year period
the sixth column, of type numeric: average
investment/GDP ratio for each 5-year period
the seventh column, of type numeric:
average secondary school enrolment rate for each 5-year period
