  • interpretation of a coefficient


    Hello all,

    While I am trying to expalin the economic significance for a model in my paper I got confused becasue of the following

    *information needed* both variables the dependent ( DV) and independent IDV) are binary, and I used logistic regression.

    the coefficient on the IDV was 1.35 which is higher than one. I am not able to understand this value and how to find the odd of the change in the DV as the coefficient is higher that 1 (100%).

    Do you think there is something wrong or what ?

    I need to understand

    How does your current question differ from the question you asked already 5 years ago?

      For me I think there is a difference because both variables DV and IDV are dummies here. which means there are no coutinuous variable which is like if you hire a female director (value=1), you may not committed a crime (value=0).
      the coefficient on female directors under the crime is negative and significant (-1.35).
      Here I used exp(1.35) i got 3.85 then deducted 1 the remaining is 2.85
      My question here is as the values of both variables are (0 1) how is this possible to have impact higher than 1
      I may don't understand it well
      So, please can you help ?
