Description Usage Format Source References Examples

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.

1	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).

growth: the first column, of type numeric: growth rate of real GDP per capita for each 5-year period
oecd: the second column, of type factor: equal to 1 for OECD members, 0 otherwise
year: the third column, of type integer
initgdp: the fourth column, of type numeric: per capita real GDP at the beginning of each 5-year period
popgro: the fifth column, of type numeric: average annual population growth rate for each 5-year period
inv: the sixth column, of type numeric: average investment/GDP ratio for each 5-year period
humancap: the seventh column, of type numeric: average secondary school enrolment rate for each 5-year period
