st: Interpretation of Interaction terms in log-lin
Date

Dear all,
my simplified model can be written as y = ß0 + ß1x1 + ß2x2 + ß3x1_x2 with the last expression being an interaction term.
However, the dependent variable is in logs and the explanatory variables are not. I now wonder whether I have to add ß2 and ß3 before putting them into the e-function or to exponantiate each coeffecient seperately and then do the addition?
Thanks for your help!
