-margeff- and -inteff- are user written additions, probably with a
very specific objective in mind. The reason for interactions in
regression models is to modify the main effects, so that effects of
years of study depend on the place where you live. Probably you would
want to report the results separately for rural and urban locations.
Note that your model is only identified by the variables -race- and
-region-. I presume those are categorical, and should enter through
the set of dummies, e.g. as -xi : ... i.race i.region)-. Even with
that, I would not say that's a terribly strong form of identification,
especially if those are not terribly significant in the selection
equation.
