Relación del analfabetismo, esperanza de vida y uso de internet con el comportamiento del PIB.

Abstract

One of the most common interpretations of GDP is, without a doubt, that its growth directly involves the economic development of a country. This research aims to explain the behavior of the GDP against indicators of economic development and if these are correlated: illiteracy, life expectancy and use of the internet. Therefore, the information of the 32 most-populated countries is used in order to apply a correlation matrix and linear regression models. Correlation values among the variables were greater than 50%; Due to the high correlation mentioned before, the multiple regression model lacks statistical significance; hence, three linear models for each independent variables were made. Which led to conclude that: first, GDP is strongly correlated with economic development indicators, and viceversa; second, life expectancy and use of internet are the factors that influence GDP the most.
