Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help with stata code for calculating marginal
effects after two-part models for say, cost of care. Here, first part is a
probit model for seeking care or not, and the second part is an OLS model of
cost of care, conditional on decision to seek care. Here is the simplified
code:
probit care $xvar
reg cost $zvar if care==1
mfx
I understand that mfx after the second part gives us the marginal effects
for the OLS part only, and not the conditional marginal effects.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
