Hello,
I have a dummy for dependent and main independent variable. I am using ivprobit.
When I try to get the marginal effects, mfx shows you that the
default setting is 'discrete', that is, evaluate the marginal effect
of a dummy going from 0->1. But it is evaluated at the mean (and under
x it shows 0.37 for the independent variable) so I am a little bit
confused about the interpretation of the marginal effect.
Thank you for your help.
