In fact,
another similar question:

y = a + b + a x b

I want to test this equation for group1 (dummy G1 ==1), while a , b, y
are numeric.

In Stata, it would be:

regress y a b axb G1 axG1 bxG1 axbxG1

we must include G1 individually in the equation.

Also, we need to add up the coef of G1 to get the true effect for this group.

My question is, since G1 is a dummy, how should we interprete G1? i.e.
what does the coefficient for G1 mean to Y (GDP)?
