Hi @ninetale,
Hi @erikcs , Thank you for your answer. I was confused because my dependent variable is binary. And i thought i would be weird if the coefficient of BLP is beyond ATE itself. Anyway, if it is okay to interpret the coefficient in the context of a linear regression, it wouldn't be weird. Thank you again!
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for developing this package, which has been a great help for my paper.
I have a few questions regarding the use of this package in my research:
In my study, the dependent variable is binary. If the ATE (Average Treatment Effect) is 0.1, can this be interpreted as the treatment increasing the probability by 10%?(I have read posts about it, but just for confirmation)
I have questions regarding the interpretation of the Best Linear Projection (BLP) results, particularly when dealing with binary and continuous variables.
Assume that the result for the binary variable X1 is 0.3, and for the continuous variable X2, it is 0.1.
Does this mean that when X1 equals 1, the treatment effect increases by 30%, leading to an expected 40% increase in probability when both the treatment and X1 are present?
Also, for X2, can it be interpreted that for each unit increase in X2, the treatment probability increases by 10%, so that when X2 increases by 3 units, an expected 40% increase in probability occurs with the treatment?
Once again, thank you very much for your help.
