Hausman Test $________

12.86 (0.169)

14.31 (0.112) #

Notes: White diagonal standard errors & covariance (d.f. corrected). The t statistics are in parentheses. *, **, *** - statistically
significant at the 10, 5, and 1 per cent. $ The null is that RE estimation is consistent and therefore preferable to fixed effects. The test
statistic is to be compared to a Qui-Square with 9 degrees of freedom. The p-value is in brackets. # The Hausman test was done
excluding External Debt, as it was highly non-significant and seemed correlated with the errors in this particular sample.
