In particular, the per capita real GDP level in each of the nations (regions) in existence as OECD members (except Iceland) over the study period is shown, using fixed-effects PLS estimations, to be an increasing function of business freedom, freedom from corruption, investment freedom, monetary freedom, government size freedom, trade freedom, and property rights freedom. By contrast, these preliminary estimations find that labor freedom, financial freedom, and fiscal freedom do not exercise a statistically significant impact on per capita real GDP (income). 000243946 650__ $$aCommunity/Rural/Urban Development 000243946 650__ $$aInternational Development 000243946 650__ $$aPublic Economics 000243946 700__ $$aCebula, Richard J. 000243946 700__ $$aClark, J.R. 000243946 700__ $$aMixon, Franklin G., Jr. 000243946 773__ $$q34$$o41$$tJournal of Regional Analysis and Policy$$j43$$k01$$d2013 000243946 8564_ $$9c5403b61-67a3-47be-afdc-a690cf017947$$s142471$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/243946/files/v43_n1_a4_cebula_etal.pdf 000243946 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/243946 000243946 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:243946$$pGLOBAL_SET 000243946 912__ $$nSubmitted by Linda Eells (lle@umn.edu) on 2016-08-15T17:16:06Z No. of bitstreams: 1 v43_n1_a4_cebula_etal.pdf: 142471 bytes, checksum: 67284fa7e6e52ce82905e45166b9d9fe (MD5) 000243946 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2016-08-15T17:16:06Z (GMT).
