In my understanding, quantitative variables can be used as both dependent and independent variables if the models are correctly specified. The term “quantitative variable” is not popular because people understand it differently. Someone thinks it refers to the continuous variable. Others may think that as long as the measurement can be quantified, it is a quantitative variable, such as an ordinal variable. Regression models are suitable for continuous variables. But we should apply different techniques when using ordinal variables as a dependent variable (logit model) or an independent variable (creating dummies).

Hello. I am aware that the traditional method of evaluating poverty is based on money while ignoring the results. I therefore wonder if there is another way to measure poverty.

I think using secondary data is very practical and affordable. Some of the measures, though, are not. May I ask for your advice on it?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
