Dear Stata members,
Me and my colleague are not sure that our interpretations of the
results are correct. Please confirm!
10% increase in Y will increase X for 1.1^0.223=1.021481649 which is
2.1% and 10 % increase in Z will increase X for 1.1^1.05=1.10525457
which is 10.5%.
Is this correct?
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Robust
Log(X) | Coef. Std. Err. z P>|z|
-------------+----------------------------------------------
Log(Y) | .223 .033 3.57 0.000
Log(Z) | 1.05 .1045 11.14 0.000
Thanks
Marco
