soSo I'm learning basic econometrics. I'm looking at a linear regression model on Stata where I have to qualitatively compare a restricted model, where y_i = b_1 + b_2 x_i$y_i = b_1 + b_2 x_i$ and y_i = b_1 + b_2.x_i + b_3.z_i,$y_i = b_1 + b_2x_i + b_3z_i$ and where z_i$z_i$ is a dummy variable. 

I want to ask, what does it mean if the coefficient on x_i$x_i$ increases after the addition of the variable z_i$z_i$?
