thank you very much for your kindly reply!
But how this changes related with my question? I am  ...
my sample answered your first question.
for example, when you define a time measure, say, year, you can make it as 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. But you have the other option, to make it as 1,2,3,and 4.
the coefficient of year in model will be changed but not for the coefficients of other variables.
