I allow myself to ask for help once again with some methodology.
I am doing research the Kuznets curve hypothesis and obtained the following results:
Code:

According to Lind (2010), "as the distribution of the estimated slope at any point is readily available, a test for the sign of the slope at any given point is straightforward." However, I am unsure how to test for the sign of this slope if I already obtained my regression. I am unsure whether this is a simple mathematical operation or whether I should use Stata for this.
Could anyone give me a hand with this?
Wishing you all a good week-end.
