Re: st: getting realistic fitted values from a regression

[Christopher Baum <kit.baum@bc.edu>]

Maarten states the received wisdom on this issue, but in the 
econometrics text authored by Jeffrey Wooldridge (Introductory 
Econometrics Thompson-Southwestern 2003 ) on pp. 208-9 Wooldridge 
suggests a way to obtain unlogged predictions from a regression in 
which the regressand is in log form (there have been subsequent 
editions of this book but the page numbers I give will be close in 
those newer editions).  If one of the statistical experts on this 
list is familiar with this approach or is willing to look it up, I'd 
be interested in their reaction.
