Dear all, I have conducted a double-bounded contingent valuation study and analysed it in Stata with Lopez-Feldmann's (2012) doubleb command. The resulting coefficients are confusing me. I am not sure whether they are standardised or unstandardised and this is not helping with my conclusions. I know that probit regression usually returns standardised coefficients, so I would not be able to say that a 1 unit increase in the IV results in a (coef.) increase in the DV. However, since the Lopez-Feldmann model is a variation of probit regression and his explanation of it shows the coefficients to be unstandardised(see below), I have interpreted my results in this way. But now I am uncertain and need to defend my results on Wednesday. From Lopez-Feldmann (2012) - https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/4101...aper_41018.pdf The last output before the references shows the difference between male and female WTP to be exactly that of the coefficient : so this would mean the coefficient is standardised, right? I have now interpreted all my coefficients (some linear, some categorical some nominal) as unstandardised. Is this correct? If so, how can I argue that it is correct that they are unstandardised although they are usually standardised in probit? Here is my Stata output: initial: log likelihood = -<inf> (could not be evaluated) feasible: log likelihood = -6032.3338 rescale: log likelihood = -466.69701 rescale eq: log likelihood = -464.61633 Iteration 0: log likelihood = -464.61633 (not concave) Iteration 1: log likelihood = -447.67555 (not concave) Iteration 2: log likelihood = -410.05117 (not concave) Iteration 3: log likelihood = -402.94301 (not concave) Iteration 4: log likelihood = -399.09683 Iteration 5: log likelihood = -375.40299 Iteration 6: log likelihood = -364.54334 Iteration 7: log likelihood = -361.66365 Iteration 8: log likelihood = -361.64446 Iteration 9: log likelihood = -361.64445 Number of obs = 137 Wald chi2(8) = 53.00 Log likelihood = -361.64445 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Coef.

Any help would be very much appreciated Thanks Joe
