st: AW: Marginal-effect calculations after 'xtlogit, fe' ?

" xtlogit, conflit txaide lpibt croiss service g txide lpop alimentpop eau,
re"


That first comma after -xtlogit- would make Stata think that "conflit" et
al. are options, and it would finally choke on "re"...

-h xtlogit postestimation- shows you what is available. Stata`s refusals are
always grounded in proper theory in my experience, so sneaking your way
around them might be hazardous...

Betreff: st: Marginal-effect calculations after 'xtlogit, fe' ?

Hello all,

I understand that marginal effect calculations are only possible with the 
default random effect of xtlogit, as follows :

xtlogit, conflit txaide lpibt croiss service g txide lpop alimentpop eau, re
mfx compute, predict (pu0)

Does anyone know how to calculte such effects after a 'xtlgit, fe' ?
Thank you very much for your help.

Séverine
