Furthermore, to see the causal effect of investment and the number of people working on economic growth, it can be written in the form of a non-linear regression equation. From the analysis results obtained the equation Ln Y = 1 + 2 ln I + 3 ln L+ U . From the regression equation, it can be seen that: 2 is the coefficient of elasticity of investment on economic growth and 3 is the coefficient of elasticity of the working population on economic growth in West Sumatra. the 2019 covid pandemic.
