Here is the explanation to which I was pointed.

Summary: a RHS ratio is like an interaction term so the base terms should be
included; a DV ratio requires that the RHS vars by multiplied by the
denominator of the DV.
Comments welcome.

Subject: st: proportion as a dependent variable
I was attending a workshop in which one of the presenters had a regression
in which a dependent variable was a proportion. One of the participants
noted that it was wrong but didnt follow it up with a clear explanation.
Any insights into this
