That establishes that my comments on selecting observations may be
pertinent. But on the other hand if you look at only those
observations, you lose any dynamics and appear to assume instantaneous
effects within the time resolution of the data.
But you need economists working in this area to comment on which
models might make sense -- and with annual data??? I am not an
economist, so bail out at this point.
