This is an exam. Do not discuss it with anyone.

The data concern Y=sr=aggregate personal savings in 50 countries over ten years, as predicted by four predictors, the percentages of young and old people, per-capita disposable income, and the growth rate in per-capita disposable income. (A related paper, which you need not consult, is Modigliani (1988), The role of intergenerational transfers and life cycle saving in the accumulation of wealth, Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2, 15-40.)
