Hello everyone,
I want to analyse the effect of income distribution and trust in government on a country’s quality of governance with international trade as a mediating variable using panel data. I plan to conduct the analysis using Stata.
IVs
Income distribution: Gini Index
Trust in government: Share of people who report having confidence in the national government.
DV
Quality of Governance: World Governance Indicators
Mediating Variable
International trade: Trade-to-GDP Ratio (trade openness ratio)
Which method would you recommend me to use?
I would be very thankful for any help or tips!
In these four variable models, the variable X does not act as a moderator and M does not act as both a mediator and a moderator at the same time. Instead, if M is the mediator, a fourth variable takes on the role of the moderator, and if M is the moderator, a fourth variable is the mediator
Thank you very much for your response! So would you suggest to just add an interaction term?
Unfortunately, I can't read the document you attached as it is in Spanish.
