grdata: Growth rate data (1960-1985)

In wsggong/toronto: The Lasso for High Dimensional Regression with a Possible Change Point

Description

A dataset containing the Annualized GDP growth rate in the period 1960-1985 of different countries and initial log GDP in 1960 with other attributes related to education, market efficiency, political stability, market openness and demographic characteristics. In addition cross product term between log GDP in 1960 and education variables. Because of missing obeservation, we have 70 observation of lr data.
