Subject   st: Question: Ordered logit- suspicious odds ratio

Dear Statalist

I am encountering running an ordered logit regression with the
following panel data ranging from 1992-2010.

describe  p11101 regionunempl unempl_empl interaction



storage  display  value

variable name   type   format label variable label



p11101          byte   %8.0g        life satisfaction -discrete from 0-10

regionunempl    float  %9.0g        Region unempl. %

unempl_empl     float  %9.0g        dummy for being 1=unemployed and 0=employed

interaction     float  %9.0g        regionalunemployment rate*unemployment dummy

I am trying to identify the link between unemployment and happiness
and in particular whether there exists a social norm effect. P11101 is
thus my dependent variable and as it is discrete I was planning to run
an ordered logit but I am encountering difficulties when trying to
calculate the odds ratio. As can be seen the social norm effect, and
thus whether you feel more comfortable when other people around you
are not working, too is massively big (27). That looks kind of
suspicious to me.  Could you give me an advice on why this is the case
and what I should do about it?
