Dear Statalisters,
I would like to ask whether there is any direct interpretation to the
coefficients obtained from the Ordered-Probit regression (apart from
sign and significance)
I recommend getting Long & Freese's book:
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/regression-models-categorical-dependent-variables/index.html
it is a bit dated (a revision is underway) but it has a lot of good
ideas for making the results from categorical models more interpretable.
For instance, here is an example, where the dependent variable is
self-ranking of household's income on a scale between 1 to 5
As always, your answers will be highly appreciated
