Source: Own elaboration (2021) When it comes to the Index of Education Quality-IEQ (Figure 8), it is easy to conclude that with the growth of the quality of education, the literacy of the population increases regarding the protection of various rights, including reactions and initiating procedures related to competition law. In this regard, if we look at the IEQ in the reference period in correlation with the EAP index, we can see the existence of a positive linear correlation between these indicators. If these phenomena are observed through a deeper analysis that includes a supposed linear regression model, it can be concluded that the quality of an education system measured by IEQ as a supposed predictor or independent variable in the model positively affects the movement of EAP index as a dependent variable in the model. The magnitude of the coefficient of determination manifests itself in such a way that about 31% of the EAP variance can be explained by changes in the IEQ indicator over the observed 10-year reference period. When observing the regression equation of the mentioned model of single linear regression, it is possible to see that with the growth of the quality of education will generate the growth of EAP index.
