per capita, economic structure and changes in price level of a country is GDP Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the determinants of country’s economic growth It represents the economic health of a country, presents a sum of a country's production which consists of all purchases of goods and services produced by a country and services used by individuals, firms, foreigners and the governing bodies GDP is used as an indicator for most governments and economic decision-makers for planning and policy formulation GDP helps the investors to manage their portfolios by providing them with guidance about the state of the economy Calculation of GDP provides with the general health of the economy With all its importance to economic growth, studying on GDP is vital for all nations Any nation wants to maintain a growing economy along with monetary stability and jobs for the population; GDP is one of the concrete signals for government efforts Therefore, studying the relationship between GDP and the important factors that affect GDP such as Family Expenditure, Exports, and Government Debt will help government look for trends in GDP growth and enable to change its policies to achieve set goals to promote economic growth United Kingdom has the fifth largest economy in the world at the exchange rate on the market and the 6th in the world by purchasing power parity We can see the positive results today, the way each household's spending and export of the country plays a very important role for the economy of this union Besides the impact of the spending from households and exports of goods on the increase, the government debt is also a critical factor impacting GDP of the United Kingdom Studying the theories and indicators of the relationship between household spending, exports, public debt and economic growth helps us understand the impacts of these factors on GDP In addition, we can imagine the characteristics and development trends to control and propose orientations and solutions to attract investment capital, use them most effectively, reduce public debt and integrate extensively and develop sustainably not only in United Kingdom but also our country For that reason, we choose the topic “Regression model of the influence of factors on United Kingdom's GDP from 1965 to 2010” LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com II LITERATURE OVERVIEW Many practical studies are carried out to investigate factors affecting GDP but you can find no one studied about factors affecting GDP of United Kingdom which includes Household Expenditure, Export and Government Debt The results of those seem to be different to kind of analysis and factors undertaken For instance, some researchers studied on literacy rate, natural resources, human capital, physical capital, standard of living while some others determined by government expenditure, consumption, … and revealed that there was a significant difference in how much that factors affect GDP Table 1: A summary of previous study on factors impacting GDP in general Author/Year Methodolog y Variable/Factor Objectives To analyze factors affecting Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in

investment Besides factors mentioned in Table 1, there are main other factors which caused controversy a lot They are Inflation, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Female Labor Forces GDP growth indeed has many controversial issues regarding the explanatory variables such as inflation According to Barro (1995), inflation is the determinant of economic growth, which has been further explained that if there is a high inflation, then the level of investment will be reduced Thus, the reduction in investment adversely affects economic growth Besides that, Mundell (1963) and Tobin (1965), have found the empirical evidence that support the findings that the inflation has huge impact on economic growth However, other researchers for instance Gultekin (1983), mentioned that depending on the rate of return will affect the relationship between the inflation and GDP If the rate of return is decreased, then economic growth is definitely having a negative relationship with inflation Furthermore, the research was further investigated by Fischer (1993) Moreover, according to Sidrauski (1967), the inflation has insignificant impact on economic growth This study was then supported by Sarel (1996) Secondly, the explanatory variable that affects GDP is FDI FDI has always been the major source to finance the economic activities of a country There are some studies on the relationship between FDI and economic growth Based on the previous research, Herzer et al (2008), have mentioned that there is a positive relationship between FDI and economic growth Furthermore, economic instability will probably have a negative effect on the FDI such as inflation and unstable exchange rate Wai-Mun et al (2008) Besides that, the study about the relationship was further explained by Yol and Teng-Teng (2009) Their investigation shows that it is a negative relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and economic growth However, Lim (2001); Duasa (2007); Karim and Yusop (2009); Kogid (2010), found that there is no causal relation between FDI and GDP growth Finally, the explanatory variable that affects GDP growth is female labor force participation Based on empirical studies it showed that female labor force participation rate has proved a significant impact on GDP growth Through the female labor force participation rate, the average household income has improved thus it did increase the GDP growth Past studies conducted by Nor (1998) have shown that highly educated LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com women tend to get better jobs, earn more and are less prone to be unemployed from research done by Bryant et al (2004), concluded that by increasing the labor force participation of women, it increases the rate of GDP This is primary due to more equal human capital investment From this section, it can be inferred that there is no research on Factors affecting GDP of United Kingdom Therefore, we will take responsibility to make clear this topic LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com III METHODOLOGY Our model: Our model is based on the simple model raised before about the Gross Domestic Product using expenditure approach: GDP is the sum of the final uses of goods and services (all uses except intermediate consumption) measured in purchasers' prices: GDP = Y = C + I + G + (X – M) And after consulting other researches about effects of household consuming, export and government debt on GDP, in the narrow range of our model, we propose the following model with these variables: GDPi = 𝛽 + 𝛽 coni + 𝛽 exi + 𝛽 debti + Ui ➢ Dependent Variable: • Gross Domestic Product of the United Kingdom through 1965 to 2010: GDP (billion GBP) ➢ Independent Variables: • Household consumption: (billion GBP) • Export: ex (billion GBP) • Government debt: debt (% GDP) ➢ 𝜷𝟏, 𝜷𝟐, 𝜷𝟑, β4 are the coefficient of the independent variables to be estimated and Ui is the random error term or disturbance error term that represent the missing variable or factors that are not mentioned in the model Data: Our model uses data for each variable (GDP, Household Consumption, Export and Government debt of the UK from 1965 to 2010) on the website https://data.worldbank.org/ and then we summarized them as in the following table: Table 1: Economical numbers of the UK from 1965 to 2010 GDP ex debt (billion GBP) (billion GBP) (billion

-0.6794 GDP 1.0000 0.9870 -0.5556 1.0000 -0.5048 ex 1.0000 debt (Source: Gretl, Self-aggregation) 3.2.1 Correlation between independent variables and dependent variable: - According to theory, household consumption and GDP have positive relation Based on the table, r (GDP, Con) = 0.9833, which means they are positively correlated Hence it is suitable with the theory and the correlation is 98.33% which is very high - Based on theory, when export increases, GDP increases r (GDP, Ex) = 0.9676 therefore they are positively correlated and the correlation is high which is 96.76% So it is suitable with the theory - When the government has more debt, it causes GDP to decrease From the table, r (GDP, debt) = -0.6794, which means they are inverse correlated in 67.94% Therefore it is suitable with the theory → In general, correlations between independent variables and dependent variable are quite high 3.2.2 Correlation among independent variables: • • • r (ex, con) = 0.9870 Thus, variable ex and variable are positively correlated r ( debt, con) = -0.5556 Thus, variable debt and variable are inverse correlated r ( debt, ex) = -0.5048 Thus, variable ex and variable ex are inverse correlated → The correlation between ex and is 0,9870 > 0,8 therefore we predict there happens multicollinearity 10 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Regression run
