Notes
- 1.
The number of cases is slightly lower than for all the other variables. This is due to the fact that, for a few countries, data on this variable are not available.
- 2.
I have done a simulation of all the possible outcome, and I have estimated the correlation in 500 sample. According the results, the index is not significative correlated (p-value < 0.001).
- 3.
In my sample, only Belgium, Brazil, and Peru have a compulsory electoral system, albeit with different levels of implementation and penalties for those not attending the polls. I have included this variable in my analysis.
