Dear statalist,
I have been working on the moderating effect of one variable on an inverted U-shape realtionship.
Following Haans et al. (2016), I got the results and finally a graph where I can see that for higher levels of financial slack I can get this curve flatten. I got it with the marginsplot at Mean -1 Standard Deviation and Mean +1 Standard Deviation of the financial slack.
However, I need to calculate now the slope for specific points of both lines to prove that there is actually a flatten effect.
I have reviewed some papers that have done this, such as Wadhwa, Bodas Freitas, Sarkar, (2017) and Gomez, Salazar, Vargas (2020). They define it as "the slope of the relationship for different values of the Independent variable around the tipping point". However, so far I can't find any post so far that discusses this calculation.
If I have missed anything please let me know.
Thanks!
