According to correlation analyses, there is no relation between UAI and TEA (0.015). On the other hand, we had
expected positive correlations between GDPPC and TEA, rather there is negative correlation between GDPPC and
TEA (-0.605).

Regarding correlation analyses results, there is no relation between high income countries’ UAI and TEA
(0.106),

-
low income countries’ UAI and TEA (
-0.141).

*Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level
There is no relation between UAI and TEA (-0.058) of countries whose population is less than 30 million
and GDPPC is over $20,000. There is a negative relation between UAI and TEA (-0.513) of countries
whose population is over than 30 million and GDPPC is over $20,000.
