Note(s): ***, ** and * shows significance levels at 1%, 5 and 10%, respectively. sigma_u is the standard deviation of the unobserved individual-specific effects and sigma_e is the standard deviation of the idiosyncratic error term. ACE is total population access to electricity, RMIT is remittances, GDP is gross domestic product, FPI is food production index, ICT is Information communication technology, GDS is gross domestic savings, DCPS is domestic credit to the private sector, GOV is governance index, CORR is the level of corruption, POL is political stability, RQ is regulatory quality, VA is Voice and accountability, RL is rule of law and GE is government effectiveness
