Hello,
I am running three multiple linear regression models. In all three, the dependent variable is the democracy index score of a range of countries over several years that the EU has agreements with. I use three independent variables in each model. Two of those are the same in each model: a sum of imports and exports from and to the EU divided by the GDP of the country, and a score on network governance with the EU. However, the third independent variable is a binary variable which tells whether the country has a particular agreement with the EU in force or not. In each model, this is a different agreement type (there are 3 of those agreements possible (an SAA, an AA, and a CPA), hence 3 models). A country can only have one of the particular agreements in force at a time, or it can have no agreement at all in force. The three models thus look like this:
