*The results as reported after a robust and country clustering are reported in the parenthesis.
Dependent variable: log ratio of price of media and advertising to GDP per capita
Breusch-Pagan test of heteroskedasticity: 1.91 (p = 0.1667 (Chi2)).
VIF test for multicollinearity is not appropriate for this model due to the inclusion of interaction variables.
