EFNA1

EFNA1

A gene on chromosome 1q21-q22 that encodes ephrin-A1, a cell surface GPI-bound ligand for the Eph family of tyrosine kinase receptors, which are crucial for migration, repulsion and adhesion during neuronal, vascular and epithelial development. EFNA1 plays an important role in angiogenesis (by RAC1 GTPase activation and vascular endothelial cell migration and assembly) and tumour neovascularisation (by activating EPHA2 and downregulating it). It induces tyrosine phosphorylation, leading to its internalisation and degradation, is induced by TNF and IL1B/interleukin-1 beta, and binds to EPHA2, EPHA4, EPHA5, EPHA6 and EPHA7 receptors.

The EFNA composite index is comprised of three area indices: size of government (EFNA1); distortionary taxation and takings (EFNA2); and labor market freedom (EFNA3).
Columns 2, 3, and 4 report results using each of the three economic freedom areas: size of government (EFNA1), distortionary taxation (EFNA2), and market freedom (EFNA3).
(8) Meanwhile, standard deviation increases in EFNA1 and EFNA2 are associated with an approximately half and third standard deviation increase in income per capita, respectively.
Meanwhile, standard deviation increases in EFNA1 and EFNA2 are associated with approximately half a standard deviation drop in the unemployment rate.
