ABSTRACT
The results of the regression analyses presented in Chapter 7 show that, in most cases, explanatory variables have ‘predicted’ the actual ID values more or less satisfactorily. However, there are also numerous deviating cases. The regression analyses disclosed the countries which contradict the first and the second research hypotheses most clearly. In this chapter, the results of statistical analyses and especially deviating cases will be examined at the level of single countries and regional groups. This analysis is based on the results of the regressions of ID-2001 on IPR and Mean respectively (Tables 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4).
