suggestions?
Add an interaction term:
let xy = x * y
z = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x + \beta_2 y + \beta_3 xy + u
dz / dy = \beta_2 + beta_3 x
H0: \beta_3 = 0 says that x has no impact on the effect of y on z.
Allin, thank you so much! I'll start the estimation of this regression
as soon as possible (for my Ph.D thesis), I'd really liked it.
