How to compare coefficients of two logistic regression models using R? I am trying to model the effect of an event on the odds ratio using logistic regression. I have multiple predictors (binary, categorical and numerical), control variables and a binary outcome.  I have 4 months before and 4 months after an event. The data is pooled cross sectional, so I have one observation for each individual but across different times of collection. However, there is no controlled sample, all the sample in the latter 4 months is affected by the event. So I can NOT create a 2x2 matrix where there is controlled versus treated and before versus after the event. I only have 1x2 dimension: before and after the event.
I am trying to compare the coefficients of the predictors of the two logistic regression model, model 1 includes data before the event and model 2 includes data after the event.
I used moderation (interaction) so far but my boss thinks it is not the right way. In this, I put all the data in 1 model and I included an interaction between all the predictors and the event. However, he thinks that this model is daunting because it includes a lot of independent variables (the predictors, a dummy variable for the event, an interaction between each of the predictors and the dummy event and finally the controls).
My objective: To measure the effect of the event on the influence of the predictors (which are binary, categorical and numerical variables) on the binary outcome variable.
I need to find a statistic similar to the t-test: the t-test compares mean values, however I need to compare the beta (the regression coefficients) in this case. Is there any statistic parallel to the t-test that compares the coefficients of 2 regression models?
Thank you

Your original idea was right, and your boss is overconcerned about a non-issue.  It is very intuitive to try to compare fitted coefficients from stratified models, but that is a dominated strategy.  By far, the best way is to include all data in a single model and test interactions.
You state that your boss is concerned because the model "includes a lot of independent variables".  This is silly.  A basic rule of thumb states that you need at least 15 of the less commonly occurring outcome per variable in a logistic regression model.  You state that you have 10k data with 60% success.  That means you have 4k failures.  That's enough for 266 variables, according to the stated rule of thumb.  You have 4.  Including interactions will double that.  You're fine.  Go ahead with your original plan.
