Table 2 OLS Regressions: Factors Affecting Health Status (White Heteroskedasticity-Corrected T-Statistics in Parenthesis)

The document presents the results of three OLS regressions analyzing factors that affect health status. It finds that GDP per capita, public health spending, and an interaction between corruption and public health spending significantly impact under-5 mortality. Specifically, increases in GDP per capita and public health spending, as well as lower corruption, are associated with lower under-5 mortality. The models explain 94-95% of the variation in under-5 mortality rates.
