  1. Note 1: GDP is per capita economic growth; LID is life insurance density; NID is non-life insurance density; TID is total insurance density; and EZP is Eurozone panel
  2. Note 2: The figures are the t-coefficients of lagged error correction term
  3. Note 3: ** is statistical significance at 5% level
