Story Name: OECD Economic Development

Abstract: Data on per capita income and the percentages of the labor force
employed in agriculture, industry, and service occupations for 20 Eurpoean OECD
countries lend themselves to several kinds of analysis. Univariate analysis of
each of the variables is interesting, and the relations between per capita income
and the individual labor force variables relate to factors associated with
economic devel- opment. The regressions provide an opportunity to deal with
influential obser- vations, non-linearity, and transformations. The relations
between per capita income and pairs of the labor force variables can also be
examined.
