S2 Data - The role of economic stability in boosting exports in COMESA: Threshold effects analysis

This Excel file contains the log-transformed values for all key variables examined in the study, including export growth (LnEG), economic growth (LnGDP), trade openness (LnTO), and inflation rate (LnInfl). These transformations facilitate a more robust statistical analysis and interpretation of the relationships among these variables. Additionally, the file presents comprehensive empirical results that underpin the findings discussed in the main manuscript. Key components include: • Descriptive Statistics: Summary statistics for variables across low- and high-inflation regimes, providing insights into the data distribution and variance. • Threshold Effects Analysis: An investigation into how the relationship between variables changes across different inflation levels. • Nonlinearity Testing: Results from quadratic regression analyses to assess nonlinear relationships among the variables. • Panel Data Threshold Regression (PTR): Detailed results of the PTR model for both low- and high-inflation regimes, highlighting the differential impacts in varying economic contexts. • Interaction Model Results: A summary of findings from interaction models that explore the interplay between key variables across inflation regimes. Moreover, this file includes additional empirical findings that, while not presented in the main text, are significant for enhancing understanding and guiding further investigations. This supporting information is designed to complement the narrative results in the manuscript, providing further context and depth to the interpretations discussed.
