Step 1 of 2

1. It is not surprising that the estimate on the interaction term is fairly close to the one. In 13.12 example of this textbook, the co-efficient of afchnge is .0077, which shows clearly that afchnge has almost no effect on log(durat) and also the t-statistic is too small. So, dropping of such variable in the above model had no impact on the interaction term.
