Hello
I would really appreciate some help in conducting a task which is very unfamiliar for me and I am struggling with. I am trying to analyse the impact of an intervention on consumer expectations using survey data.
The survey relates to consumer expectations and uses single-item questions of the following form:
1. What do you expect if <event> does not happen?
2. What do you expect if <event> does happen?
The proposed outcome is implied expectation of the impact of the event (i.e. Y= Answer2 minus Answer1).
The coefficient of interest would be on a treatment dummy indicating allocation to an intervention (i..e one which aims to change consumer expectations).
Would linear regression be appropriate for this analysis? Are there any particular methodological challenges I should be aware of when conducting this analysis in STATA?
Thanks in advance for your help
Marcel
