### Interpret a multiple linear regression when Y is log transformed [duplicate]

I have the following multiple linear regression model: Log(y) = B0 + B1X1 + B2X2 + B3x3 + e. X1 is a dummy that can take 0 = male and 1 = female and X2 and X3 are continuous variables. I am not ...

### Interpretation of regression coefficient, which is dlog-log variable? [duplicate]

Can anyone suss out the interpretation of beta here: D.log(gdp) = alpha + beta(log(military expenditure %) Where D.log(gdp) = growth of GDP (first difference of log(GDP) Would it be: A 1% point ...

### Interpreting OLS regression coefficients of set of dummies when dependent var is in ln form [duplicate]

I run a regression where I created a set of dummies to represent different intervals. I had set of 4 dummies, only included 3 in the regression so the one with the highest interval (experience) acts ...

### Effect of a lin-log model on the R^2 value as compared to a lin-lin model? [duplicate]

From all the data I have worked with, I have noticed that in a linear model with one explanatory variable, taking the ln of that explanatory variable and using the result as the new "independent" ...

### In linear regression, when is it appropriate to use the log of an independent variable instead of the actual values?

Am I looking for a better behaved distribution for the independent variable in question, or to reduce the effect of outliers, or something else?
