gold. In regression (3) the dependent variable is the IIP estimate of NFA for Belgium, Canada, Italy, Japan and
United Kingdom, and
CUMCA for all other countries. In regression (4) it is the IIP estimate of NFA for
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United
