Dear ALL,

I'm trying to figure out what the percentage effects are in a logistic regression. To be more clear, I'm not interested in the effect on y of a 1-unit increase in x, but on the percentage effect on y of a 1% increase in x (in economics this is also often called an "elasticity"). For example, if my independent variables are in logs, the betas can be directly interpreted as percentage effects both in OLS and Poisson regression. What about the logistic regression?

Is there a package (maybe effects?) that can compute these automatically?

Thanks and best regards,
Roberto Patuelli
