Abstract
In this report path analysis models are considered for mixed qualitative/quantitative variables. Only endogenous variables that are dependent in all its relations are supposed to be quantitative, but this restriction can easily be dropped. Qualitative variables are handled using a dummy-variable for each category. Parameters are estimated by ordinary least squares. The method allows decomposition of total effects in direct and indirect effects, which makes interpretation easier.
