Hi,
(1) I'm running a regression, wanting to see the effect of overseas living
experience (OV) on one's income (y) which is also determined by eudcation
level (edu) and wealth.
regress y ov edu wealth ovxedu ovxwealth.
I also want to see the effect of overseas experience on y with a mixed
variable: edu and wealth.
If I run regress y ov edu wealth eduxwealth ovxedu ovxwealth ovxeduxwealth,
I might run into collinearity problems when I include more variables in the
future.
or can I run a separate regression such as regress y ov wealthxedu
ovxwealthxedu? Which one is correct?
(2) when I run regress y ov edu wealth eduxwealth ovxedu ovxwealth
ovxeduxwealth, OV has a negative coefficient,
but it changes to positive when I run regress y ov wealthxedu
ovxwealthxedu. What does this suppose to mean?
(3) I have very large standard errors (ranged from 0-14) when running
both equations. Does this mean that the results are very 'imprecise'?
