The report of the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda to the UN Secretary-general,
the following section presents an econometric model based on panel data regression. This enables us to go beyond descriptive statistics and draw some robust conclusions on the link between competition and prices.
Choice of the model The analysis was conducted through econometric modelling using panel regressions for up to 144 countries based on data for the five-year period from 2008 to 2013.
Panel data regression is a statistical technique which is used to assess how variations in a set of variables over a given time period relate to Figure 4. 3:
Panel regressions minimize problems of omitted variable bias (the omission of important variables) and multicollinearity (the co-variations of variables modelled as independent).
In addition, panel regressions have the advantage of discounting known and unknown region fixed effects. These are structural geographic conditions
and mobile-cellular prices and competition and regulation metrics, using panel regressions with fixed effects.
Panel regression models for fixed-broadband and mobile-cellular prices Two models are used for the regressions:
Panel regression models for fixed-broadband and mobile-cellular prices (continued) Regulatory variable: The combined values of clusters 1 to 3 of the ITU ICT Regulatory Tracker.
Results for fixed broadband The panel regression model for fixed-broadband prices has a medium explanatory power (an R-squared value of 0. 41,

Results for mobile cellular The results of the panel regression for mobilecellular prices (voice and SMS) indicate that the model constructed has a medium explanatory power (an R-squared value of 0. 41,

Professor Maureen Mckelvey, Professor of Industrial Management, School of business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg. 30 Mandate of the panel Context:
The panel will be supported by a rapporteur who will be selected by DG Enterprise and Industry. Timeline, operation and reimbursements:
or two meetings as hearings where a wider range of stakeholders can present views to the panel.
Information obtained through participation in the panel will be confi dential. DG Enterprise and Industry will be responsible for publishing the report of the panel.
Members will not be reimbursed other than for travel and subsistence expenses. 31 In essence the Panel starts with a simple but powerful concept, namely that innovation,
technology and entrepreneurship will stimulate long-term growth and thereby change our economy and society. The Panel has worked with the notion that innovation will create a new future,
as also refl ected by the fact that we choose John Kao's defi nition that innovation is about capabilities for creating the future.
It places the concepts and ideas developed by the Panel for Innovation, in relation to some literature and debates on innovation and innovation policies. 32 The main points from this quote are
The recommendations of the Panel are focused very much upon how public policy can stimulate the relationships between industry
10 The discussion in the Panel covered a similar broad range of policies and stressed the need for creative thinking about public policy.
The precise roles of policies and governance at European, national, regional and local levels in order to realize the recommendations was not part of the Panel's mandate
The Business Panel on Innovation often discusses radical innovations, and these can be contrasted with incremental innovations.
The Panel has stressed primarily that public policy needs to focus more on innovation, in that it off er key opportunities to solve grand societal challenges.
The Panel has used the notion that public policy can help change the fi nal results
It is clear from the Panel's ideas that radically new thinking is needed to think about the types of competencies, access to ideas,
