Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth

Economic theory suggests that foreign direct investment affect the economic growth (the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)) in developing countries. The objective of this project is to carry out a simple linear regression analysis to examine this theory. Your independent and dependent variables are the growth of the foreign direct investment and the economic growth (the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)) respectively.

Required Tasks:

  1. State the regression model and determine the least squares regression line.
  1. What sign did you expect the estimated parameter to have? Explain.
  1. Use the scatter diagram presented in figure 1 to comment on whether it appears that a linear model might be appropria
