Coefficient signs

[Jihane bou zakhem]

Dear All,

As results, I have significance in the independent variables, important R square. But some of coefficients have different signs that the normal and regular ones (for example liabilities should decrease the market price, however the coefficient of liabilities is positive with significance).

Could you please suggest a way to solve this contradiction?

Regards,

Jihane

It sounds like your data contradict your hypotheses. It happens in empirical research, try finding a theoretical reason to explain these findings.
