-margeff- calculates the average marginal effects over all the obs;
you should be able to get the marginal effects for each obs from that
command. If you don't think it's correct to calculate the marginal
effects at the mean as -mfx- does, -margeff- can be used instead.
The command and relevant materials can be found on the author's
website as follows,

Hope it helps,

Dear Listers,
I am trying to calculate the marginal effects at every observation for a
multinomial logit model. As I understood, the mfx command in STATA
calculates the marginal effect at the mean of the independent variables,
which is not correct for multinomial logit models since marginal effects
are nonlinear in the independent variables. So I have two questions:
1. Is there an easy way to make mfx to calculate the marginal effect at
each observation instead of manually entering the values for each
observation?
2. Is there an easy way to calculate the standard errors of the marginal
effects?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
