Dear Stata Users,


I am trying to interpret a comparison of coefficients. I have two different ways of operationalizing a variable, so basically two different modells and i am supposed to compare the coefficients to see if they they are similar. This is the command i am was told to use.

reg av uv if wave==1
est sto compare1
reg av uv if wave==0
est sto compare2
suest compare1 compare2
test [compare1]uv=[compare2]uv

This is my output (rollenbild is the variable). My professor told me that the output will only be the sigificance. Now I dont really know how to interpret the whole output and what this means for my model. Can someone help? I am also thankful if someone has literatur on that topic or knows where i can find the answer because i couldnt find it anywhere. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
