Countries with higher GDP per capita tend to have higher life expectancy outcomes -Even though OLS is solving linear equations -- one option we have is to transform the variables, such as through a log transform, and then use OLS to estimate the transformed variables - -:::{tip} -ln -> ln == elasticities -::: +Even though OLS is solving linear equations -- one option we have is to transform the variables, such as through a log transform, and then use OLS to estimate the transformed variables. By specifying `logx` you can plot the GDP per Capita data on a log scale
