Hi there, I have individual level data for 30 countries, and I am exploring the effect of x on y. I estimate an OLS in the pooled sample with country fixed effect and then estimate the same model for each country separately. The aim of the analysis is to explore whether the relationships between x and y are associated in ways that vary between countries. Should multi-level models be used to demonstrate the extent to which there is national variation in these relationships? Kindly advise if the correct model is random intercept or random coefficient or may be an interaction model will do the trick?
