Dear experts,
I would like to kindly ask for your help in the interpretation of a regression output. Compare statistical significants and the economic importance of my various regressors--Is my key explanatory variable important? What are your most important variables? Fully and carefully use words to interpret at least one parameter estimate (using B, marginal effect, or elasticity; elasticity is easiest as long as it’s a continuous variable).
here is my regression:
use "C:\Users\hartm\Downloads\cosub_place_panel_pr oper ty2_9018 (6).dta
> "
