Data source
The Micro-Dataset and related resources come from:
The Global Findex Database 2021: Financial Inclusion, Digital Payments, and Resilience in the Age of COVID-19
https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/globalfindex
The Macro data (country-level) comes from the World Bank Development Indicators
https://databank.worldbank.org/reports.aspx?source=2&country=ARE Both GDP_PPP and Life_expectancy are highly significant predictors of percent_with_account, with p-values < 2e-16. The model explains about 43.1% of the variation in account ownership across countries (R-squared = 0.4314). The coefficients suggest that higher GDP_PPP and longer life expectancy are associated with increased account ownership. Open the R project file in RStudio and run the scripts.Results
