Hi everybody,
I am working on a fixed-effects model for my master thesis and facing a problem regarding the transformation of different introduced variables. Hopefully somebody can give me a hand.
One of my control variables (Cash Flow) also takes on negative values. Other control variables such as Expenditures can only be positive or zero. I would like to transform at least the Expenditure-variables into logs. In my opinion it makes no sense to also transform Cash Flow (due to the negative values). Is it appropriate to transform just a part of my regressors and to leave other arithmetically?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
Alessio
