Comparing regression coefficients in related samples

Baglioni, Tony

All,

 

I know this is a bit non-SPSS but I have a simple question.  I have data from 1990 and 2000 census.  I have developed the same model on both sets of data and I’d like to compare the regression coefficients.  I have searched around archives and cannot find an example that matches this exactly.  Any suggestions?

 

TIA,

Tony

Maguin, Eugene
Tony,
 
One way to do this is through interaction terms. Add the two files together along with a variable indicating which file contributed the case (the IN subcommand is useful here). You have the same model for both files. Systematically add interaction terms between model variables and file indicator variable to the baseline model.
