I want to use -mfx- to compute elasiticities after -tobit/xttobit-. My interpretation is that the commands

. mfx compute, eyex predict(ystar(0,.))
. mfx compute, eyex predict(e(0,.))

should produce respectively unconditional (all observations) and conditional (non-limit observations) elasticities. Am I correct?

If so: Both elasticities are interpreted at the mean of all observations. Would it be logical to use mean values for the non-limit sample to produce the conditional elasticities? (i.e. add the option at(avg) to mfx where avg is means for the non-limit sample).

Best regards,
