Dear Martin,

Thank you very much for your help.
I tried what is explained in the FAQ, but it yields only "zeros" :

Do you have any idea of what is wrong ?

Thank you again.

eau,

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.

Subject: Marginal-effect calculations and prediction tests with xtlogit
command

Hello,

I'm trying to calculate marginal effects after the estimation of a FE
logit model, and to obtain predictions... without success.
I'm working on the economic determinants of conflict onset and duration
in

10 African countries, therefore estimating with panel data, and
performing

tests on Stata 10.1. Below is my do file :

**Panel logit test on conflict onset/duration in African countries
log using Conflit, replace
set memory 18m
use ConflitAfrique
tsset pays temps, yearly
gen conflit1 = L.conflit
gen txaide = aide/pib
gen txaide3 = log(0.2*(L.txaide+L2.txaide+L3.txaide))
gen lpibt = log(pib/pop)
gen txpib = (pib-L.pib)/L.pib
gen croiss = L.txpib
gen txdette = dette/pib
gen txide = ide/pib
gen lpop = log(L.pop)
gen txaliment = (aliment-L.aliment)/L.aliment
gen txpop = (pop-L.pop)/L.pop
gen alimentpop = L.txaliment/L.txpop
gen leau = log(eau)
gen pibus3 = log(0.2*(L.pibus+L2.pibus+L3.pibus))
gen pibfr3 = log(0.2*(L.pibfr+L2.pibfr+L3.pibfr))

***Model of conflict onset
*Calculation of marginal effects
xtlogit conflit txaide lpibt croiss service g txide lpop alimentpop eau
if

conflit1==0, fe
mfx compute

/// RESULTS : default predict () is unsuitable for marginal-effect
calculation r(119);

*Prediction Test
xtlogit conflit conflit1 txaide lpibt croiss service txide lpop
alimentpop

ethnie eau, fe
predict confestime

/// RESULTS : (option pc1 assumed; conditional probability for single
outcome within group)
(20 missing values generated)
It seems to be working but I don't know how to display the results, as it
is the case with the command 'lstat' after a logit estimation.



Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Best Regards
Severine
