Dear all,
I am analysing the following statistical problem/situation.
I have a population (real estate companies in Canada). Before the year 2011 all were using a certain accounting model, model A. During the year 2011 they were given a choice: either stick with model A, or switch to model B.
I intend to find out the effect this has had on a certain qualitative measure that I have already collected. I am now wondering what statistic test I should use. By my understanding I can compare the group that has switched to B to itself when it was still using A, but I can also compare group A to group B after 2011. Or even compare group A to itself to verify that no statistic change has occurred.
I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance!
