Thanks, Dave, for your reply. My question is about interaction of log-transformed and untransformed variables (continuous or dummy). The links suggested don't discuss interpretation of interactions of transformed variables.

Friedrich: This is not a homework/exam question :) I am running an analysis where income variable in log-transformed and is interacted with programme membership variable (dummy) and regressed on log-transformed healthcare expenditure variable. There is also interactions between log-transformed income and level of education (untransformed continuous) variables and also between two dummy variables. These are all regressed on log-transformed dependent variable.

Thank you,

Shehzad

Hi,

Could someone please help me interpret the following:

1. Coefficient on an interaction term for a dummy and log- transformed variable in an OLS model when the dependent variable is in natural units or is also log-transformed

2. Coefficient on an interaction term for an untransformed continuous and log-transformed variable in an OLS model when the dependent variable is in natural units or is also log-transformed

3. Coefficient on an interaction term between a dummy and log- transformed variable in a probit regression

Thank you,

Shehzad
