Abstract:
The relationship between oil rent and crude oil production remains unexplored in Cameroon. This study therefore aims to apply the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) estimation technique and the Granger causality test using the Toda-Yamamoto procedure to capture the symmetric impact and causality links between oil rent and crude oil production in Cameroon. The study covers the period from 1977 to 2019, and includes crude oil prices, human development index (HDI) and corruption as other variables. The study indicates that there is a significant negative linear impact of crude oil production on oil rent and a bidirectional causality between oil rent and crude oil production. Finally, the price of crude oil, HDI and corruption are found to pass through production to influence oil rent. The results of this study will guide policy makers in managing and sustaining oil revenues for growth and prosperity.•The paper examines the linear impact of crude oil production on oil rent and the causal links between crude oil production and oil rent by incorporating crude oil prices, HDI and corruption.•Bidirectional causality between oil rent and crude oil production.•Convergence of crude oil price, HDI and corruption to crude oil production to influence oil rent.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
