to this particular problem.
----------------------
WHenever i request mfx for dummy variables in ordered probit,
some of them seem to be evaluated at means rather as a discrete change?
How do i calculate mfx for all dummy variables as a discrete change?
In the example given below although Ifemale, Irace_2 are dummy
variables, mfx is not for discrete change from 0 to 1.
Is there a way i can request Stata to make them all discrete change?
------------------------------------
Example:
Marginal effects after svyoprobit
y = Pr(adp0123==0) (predict, outcome(0))
= .38169908
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
variable | dy/dx Std. Err. z P>|z| [ 95% C.I. ] X
---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------
_Ifema~1 | -.0292209 .02906 -1.01 0.315 -.086177 .027735 .562267
_Irace_2 | .0704648 .04161 1.69 0.090 -.011084 .152014 .148739
_Ieduc~2*| -.0303787 .02179 -1.39 0.163 -.07309 .012332 .591935
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*) dy/dx is for discrete change of dummy variable from 0 to 1
