Hi Arne
Thanks for your reply!
If it’s okay I have follow question regarding marginal effects.
I have read in the FAQ: http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/mfx_unsuit.html that -mfx- is unsuitable for calculating marginal effects in the -clogit-.
However in your answer to Jim http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2006-08/msg00899.html
you provide him two alternatives to do so.
I was wondering if they also apply to my example?
Thanks again for the help.

I have calculated individual specific expected income for each of these four choices. Furthermore I have also calculated two types of income risk however these two measures are alternative specific. Hence the income risk concerned with choice 1 is the same for all individuals. My initial idea was to use asclogit along the lines
