factor variables may not contain noninteger values

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to run the following regression:
reg logchildwage logheadwage POOR age NPERSONS URBAN2011 Hindus Male ForwardCaste Male##logheadwage.

There is an interaction term between Male dummy and logheadwage but somehow I am getting an error stating that logheadwage: factor variables may not contain noninteger values. I somehow cannot understand how to solve this issue.

You need to declare logheadwage as continuous.

And what Nick says is probably done like this

i.Male##c.logheadwage

and read the help in
