The dependent variable is human rights (ffp_hr). It is an index variable combining multiple measures of different aspects of human rights. The scale runs from 1 to 10. 1- excellent human rights, 10- very poor human rights. Canada is at 2.1, Russia is at 8.7 The independent variables are Judicial independence. A seven point scale (1 to 7) where 7 - entirely independent and 1-heavily influenced GDP Per capita. It is in $1000's of 2005 USD. Canada is at 32, which means $32,000 per capita. What is the expected change in 'human rights' if judicial independence increases from a score of 2 to 3. Do human rights get better or worse, by how much? ( we are assuming more human rights is a desirable thing hence 'better/worse).? O Rights worse by -.7 Rights better by 1.7 Rights better by 1.4 Rights worse by 1.4

Explanation / Answer

The coefficient of the independent variable is given to be -0.6806447, therefore for one point increase from 2 to 3, that is one point increase, there would be a decrease in the rights by - 0.7 points

Therefore A) Rights worse by - 0.7 is the required answer here

Note that as the coefficient here is negative therefore the rights will decrease.
