Hi Daniel,
Thanks so much for showing me how to create indicators for the year.
It is very helpful. That said, I am not sure how I can interpret the
findings. Supposedly, I run a regression of some variables, e.g.,
Savings on Investement and the new variable, then how I can interprete
the coeficients?
Thanks again. I highly appreciate it.
Have A Wonderful Day!
Sincerely yours,
Quang
