All data (except weighting matrix W) are from Bassanini and Duval (2006). Number of observations
N = 397. Weights are based on α1 = α2 = 1 and δ = 1; standard normalization. Foreign variables are
not to be interpreted as means, since weights do not add up to 1 (due to inclusion of rest of the world in
calculation of weights).
