Hello Dear Statalists,
I am currently working on my thesis, I am using command xtabond2 by Roodman and I am having trouble in the interpretation of my coefficients because the dependent variable is the logarithm of the GDP. I hope you can help me. I am new to stata so I do not know how to put my results but I present you a table I made in excel. The one I am interest in explaining is fix, that is the penetration of fix telephones measured as number of suscriptions to fix telephones per 100 persons.
I think the interpretation is: Holding everying else constant, a one percentage point increase in the ratio between the volume of debit and credit card transactions over real GDP yields a 01.3 percentage points increase in real GDP per capita growth but I am not sure.
I really hope you can help me, best regards
