Question: what is the relationship between gdp and infant mortality?
Answer: There is an inverse and significant relationship between income and child mortality. The pooled elasticity for those estimates, which are unadjusted for downstream covariates, or mediators, is −0.95 for infant mortality. If the IMR is 50/1000 and the GDP increases by 10%, we can expect the IMR to decrease to 45/1000.
