Interpretation dummy variable
Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2012 12:17 pm
Hello together, I have a question regarding the interpretation of a dummy variable.
I run three regressions, all with the same return index as dependent variabel.
each regression had 2 regressors: GDP growth and change in USD/exchange rate of one specific country each.
In addition, for each regression a crisis dummy is included with identical specifications.
RESULT:
In all regressions, the dummy variable is significant, but in two cases the coefficient is positive and in one case it is negative.
Does it make sense? How do I interprete the results? The OLS regression is blue.
Thanks!
