The Fixed Effect Model (FE) examines the relationship between indicator and outcome
parameters. The FE model shows the relationship among observation vary in the same direction
or observed the observation vary vary in one side not. The indicator factors may be influenced
by the unique characteristics of each chemical (for instance, being a male or female could impact
the assessment toward specific issue; or the political arrangement of a specific nation could have
some impact on exchange or GDP; or the strategic policies of an organization might impact its
stock cost). We recognize that something within the individual may affect or conditions the
indicator or result factors when using FE, and we want to account for this. This is why there is a
suspicion of a link between the substance's erroneous label and indicator factors.
The random coefficient model's premise of directionality between X and 0 is not required in the
fixed effects model. It's possible to write it as
Y ij =β 1+ β2 x ij + β 3 x ij Gij +σ j + μij 1
The σ jare between-context contrasts are supposed to be conventional Gaussian errors, while the
G ijare are considered to be conventional Gaussian errors. The additive term in G ij has been
removed from the randomized coefficient model, and the intercepting and slope can no longer
change randomly between contexts. In simple A fixed effects method is used to predict in which
the parameter estimates are fixed or non-random values, as defined in statistics. Random effects
models and mixed models, on the other hand, have all or some of the model parameters as
random variables. A fixed effect refers to a regression model wherein the group means are fixed
(quasi) as contrasted to a random effects in which the group means are a random sampling from
a population in numerous applications include econometrics and biostatistics. In general, data
can be classified based on a number of variables. For each grouping, the group means could be
described as fixed and random effects. Each group mean in a fixed - effect model is a cohort
fixed number. Fixed effects are the subject-specific means in panel data with longitudinal
observations for the same subject. Fixed effects estimator (also known as the within estimator) is
a term used in panel data analysis to refer to an estimator for the coefficients in the regression
model that include those fixed effects (one time-invariant intercept for each subject).
If the random coefficient model's assumption of orthogonality among x and 0 is implausible, as it
can be when the list of G i j variables is inadequate, the fixed effects model offers an alternative
that overcomes the problem. The fixed effects model in the Gaussian scenario is a standard linear
regression (Massin and Kop, 2014). The problem of none normality could be handled because
panel data is a combination of cross-section and time series. Checking the data for normality is
advised to ensure that your data analysis is accurate (Baltagi, 2021). In panel data analysis when
the number of T >10 then data is serious indulged in unit root to remove this we add more
variables in the model to eliminate the unit (Stock and Watson, 2012). But in our case T <10 and
we are including 9 variables in the model. In this analysis no need to check the stationary of the
data and we will directly approach to other necessary test such as OLS, Fixed effect model and
post estimation test.
We can examine the net influence of the indicators on the result variable by removing the impact
of those time-invariant features using FE. Another important assumption of the FE model is that
those time-invariant qualities are unique to the individual and should not be linked to other
personal characteristics. Because each substance is unique, the element's descriptive term and the
consistent that captures individual characteristics should not be linked to the others. If the
blunder terms are linked, then FE is not rational because derivations may not be correct and you
actually want to demonstrate that relationship, probably using arbitrary impacts; this is the basic
argument behind the Hausman test, which will be discussed later in this record. In this study we
choose the Fixe effect model because the value of Hausman test less than 0.5 percent. After this
we will check the model by using different test such as normality test and LM test to check
whether the residual of the model is correlated or not with each other. Further we used to check
which country get the more growth rate in terms of GDP or not.

higher than developed countries. It means that more expenditure is made to increase the
investment. The coefficient of full model is positive and significant at 1 percent level.
2.3.4 Government Consumption
The government consumption expenditure in developing countries coefficient is negative and
significant impact and the coefficient of developed countries is also negative and shows the
negative impact on the growth rate of the GDP. The negative coefficient of the developed
countries is higher than developing countries. It means that the advanced countries government
expenditure on non-development expenditure is higher than developing countries. The combine
coefficient of government expenditure is negative but insignificant impact on the model.
2.3.5 Inflation

2.4.1 GDPPCG
GDP shows the value market values of the all the final goods and services produce in the
economy in given year. The growth rate of GDP is used to measure the performance of the
country and it’s widely used around the world. It considers both individual and public utilization,
just as corporate and public venture, just as commodities short imports. In the above table
GDPPCG is the dependent variable and the other variables are said to be independent or
regressors.
2.4.2 Capital Account
The current account is based on the official reserve the government which includes short terms
loan, long terms loan and official reserve place in the central bank. A positive worth
demonstrates that the nation is a net exporter of labor and products, while a negative worth
shows that it is a significant exporter of labor and products. The positive coefficient of the capital
account means the impact of current account balance on GDPPCG is positively and 1 unit
change in capital account leads to 0.0141 impact on the dependent variable and shows the
insignificant effect on the model because the p value is greater than 5 percent. Now we simply
look the graphical relationship between capital account and GDPPCG.

The graph show the positive relationship between GDPPCG and capital account balance when
the positive surplus accumulate in the current account leads to increase the growth rate of the
GDP.
2.4.3 Foreign Direct Investment
Foreign Direct investment considered to one of the major part which is contribute in the
development of countries. The investment comes from outside from the country is called FDI.
The inflow of FID is higher means the greater foreign reserve available and increase in
employment in the economy ultimately increases the level of GDP. The coefficient of FDI 0.120
and shows the positive effect on the growth rate off the GDP and the coefficient value meaning
that 1 unit change in FDI leads to 0.120 percent impact on the growth rate of the GDP but the p
value is higher than critical region or lies outside the critical region which indicates the
coefficient insignificant impact on the model. The below graph indicate that there is exhibit
positive relationship between FID and GDP growth and with the passage of time the FDI inflow
in the economy leads to positive impact on the GDP.

2.4.4 Gross Fixed Capital
The Gross Fixed Capital formation means to increase the way of investment by using its
resources for the development or promotion of investment and make the arrangement of new
capital such situation is called gross capital fixed capital formation. Without new investment the
growth rate of the GDP is not increase and its directly influence the growth of the GDP. The
gross fixed capital formation is most volatile variable in the economy as the economy suffer in
negative shots it leads to decrease the investment multiple times and vice versa. The Viner
(1936) said that there is multiple time increase in growth rate of the GDP as 1 unit change in the
capital formation or adding new capital in the economy. Further it is necessary to increase the
capital stock year by year to maintain the growth rate of the GDP. The coefficient of Gross fixed
capital development is positive and but insignificant impact on the model.

The above graph shows positive relationship between gross capital formation and GDP and
depicts that when the amount of capital or investment increase the growth rate of the GDP also
increase in the same direction and vice versa.
2.4.5 Government Consumption
The government spending also directly influence on the growth rate of the GDP. If the
government wants to increase the economic activity the government cut the tax rate to increase
the growth rate of the economy. Further if government to see the economy is suffers in the
inflation then use the strict fiscal policy in this station the economic activity reduces. Further if
the government investment or spending on development projects such as dams, roads, hospital
and other big projects then its leads to positive contribution in GDP growth but if the government
spending on other purpose or non-development projects such as military spending and debit
servicing this situation is leads to negative impact on the GDP growth of the economy. The
public authority utilization use coefficient is negative which is equivalent to - 0.471 and shows a
critical impact in light of the fact that the p-esteem is not exactly the percent level. It occurred
because of non-advancement use which implies that the public authority hugely spent on
enormous non-useful exercises for this situation GDP development rate shows a negative
connection among spending and creation (Mo, 2007).

The above graph shows that there is negative relationship between government spending and
growth rate of the GDP. It is happened when the government diverts the resources to some
wastage of non-productive development purpose.
2.4.6 Inflation
The inflation means the overall increase in the general price level or in other terms the inflation
occur when the prices increase rapidly varies from time to time periods. It is also most important
factor which disturb the economics activity and the central bank control this factor by using
different tools. The inflation effect the buying poser of the consumer when the inflation increases
the buying power of the consumer down because the prices of the basket increase. The
coefficient of the expansion shows the adverse consequence on the GDP which implies that 1
unit change in the inflation adverse consequence on the GDP which is equivalent to - 0.004 and
shows the critical impact on the model. Our result is coordinate or backing with the investigation
of Banerjee and Marcellino (2006).

2.4.7 Fertility rate


The complete richness rate for a given year is characterized by the quantity of youngsters that
every lady would have expected she lived to the furthest limit of her child years and brought
forth kids as per the current age-explicit rates of birth. The coefficient of fertility rate is negative
and the worth of the coefficient is - 1.390 and unimportant impact on the model. The past
studies, for example, Lacalle et al., (2017) supporting my negative coefficient of richness rate.

The above graph also shows the negative relationship between GDP and fertility rate which
shows the number of birth rate leads to decrease the growth rate of GDP.

2.4.8 Trade
Trade is most important part of the economy it is the external part of the economy based on the
export and import. If the export is greater than import then we can say that trade account is
surplus and if the export is less than import then the economy suffer in deficit trade. The
coefficient of trade is negative and shows the insignificant effect on the model. The coefficient of
trade account is negative due to export is lower than import or weaker export and strong demand
of import goods which results the foreign resources flight outside the country in the form of
foreign payment (Zestos and Tao 2002).

The above graph shows that the number of import increase leads to increase the deficit in trade
and services account results it will leads to negative impact on the growth rate of the GDP of the
economy.
2.4.9 Unemployment
The unemployment rate is the rate which reflects how much the working age population is
unemployed despite they are ready for working in the economy. The unemployment coefficient
is positive value 0.011 and insignificant effect on the model because the p value is greater than
critical boundary. But Okun law says that 4 percent decrease in GDP as 1 percent increase in
unemployment. In this study this coefficient turns to be positive and shows the insignificant
behavior.

rate of GPD which totally negate the negative relationship between unemployment and growth
rate of the GDP.

The above table shows the Hausman test which shows that null hypothesis based on the random
effect model and alternative assumption based on the fixed effect model. The p value of the test
0.0019 which stated that we cannot reject the null hypothesis because the p value is less than
critical value; we can say that the fixed model is appropriate for this study. Now we are
performing the diagnostic to check the consistency of our model.

2.5 Post Estimation test


The now we apply diagnostic test to check the stability of the model.

The Jarque-Bera test, a type of Lagrange multiplier test, is a normalcy test. Many evaluation
measures, such as the t test and the F test, presume normality; the Jarque-Bera test is commonly
used to confirm normality before one of these exams. Alternative parametric tests, such as
Shapiro-Wilk, are problematic when n surpasses 2,000, thus it's usually used for large data sets.
The skewness and kurtosis of data are compared to see if they are similar to the normal
distribution. The data could be presented in a variety of ways, including.

A skew of zero shows that the distribution is symmetrical around the mean, and a kurtosis of
three indicates how much data is in the tails and how high the distribution expands. It shouldn't
need to know the information's mean or standard error to conduct the test. The above histogram
shows that the data is normally distributed and the value of Jarque-Bera test is greater than p
value which indicated that we can reject the null hypothesis which stated that data is not
normally distributed. So, there is sufficient evidence that we can accept the alternative
hypothesis. Now we test the cross-sectional dependency test which shows that error is serial
correlated or not.

2.5.2 Cross sectional dependency test

Cross-sections included: 20

Pesaran CD 5.047995 0.0000

The above table shows the cross-sectional dependency test and null hypothesis shows that no
cross-section dependence among residual exist and alternative hypothesis stated that cross
sectional dependence serial correlation exists. The result shows that Breusch-Pegan LM test p
value is less than critical value and which indicate that we cannot reject the null hypothesis. We
can conclude that cross section dependence among error is exhibit.
