Figure 5. EAP and GDP correlation and regression model

Source: Own elaboration (2021) Furthermore, if we look at the Scatter Plot Diagram, Figure 6, we can see that there is a certain level of linear correlation between EAP index and FDI value movement, and through deeper analysis using the supposed single linear regression model, it could be seen that the coefficient of determination is about 0,34 and it means that 34% EAP index variance could be explained by change in FDI value. Further analysis through the observation of the regression equation can be seen that it shows an increase in FDI value will produce increasing of the EAP index, which indicates the fact that companies coming from abroad implement and require standard business conditions in the context of protection their rights and especially in the field of competition law.
