Hello again.
I see that Saygin asked a question about marginal effects in an ordered probit model. I have a similar equation, perhaps not related to Stata, but to the interpretation of the coefficients in an ordered logit model.
Could anyone recommend a source that discusses how to interpret these coefficients? I have read a few papers in the "economics of happiness" literature where they use these ordered logits and probits but they never discuss what the magnitudes of the coefficients mean; they care only about the coefficients' signs and statistical significance. Similarly, the standard Greene econometrics textbook has very little regarding this interpretation.
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers,
Adrian
