Subject: st: marginal effects in probit


Dear all,

I am new on this list and I have one question that I hope someone can help
me a little bit with. It is about the command "dprobit".

dprobit reports the Confidence Interval for the marginal effects, but "z and
P>|z| correspond to the test of the underlying coefficient being 0". Does
anyone know why Z is reported for the coefficient (instead of for the
marginal effect)? Could it be that when testing the null hypothesis for the
marginal effect, it is actually Z for the underlying coefficient that should
be used?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Sven Tengstam, Sweden
