Justina,
Try this code to see the difference between the two methods of
calculating the marginal effects:
********************************************************
webuse fullauto, clear
levelsof rep77, local(replev)
// higher-order term not included
oprobit rep77 foreign length mpg
foreach i of numlist `replev' {
margins, dydx(mpg) predict(outcome(`i'))
}
// include as continuous interactions
oprobit rep77 foreign length c.mpg#c.mpg
foreach i of numlist `replev' {
margins, dydx(mpg) predict(outcome(`i'))
}
// include explicitly
g mpgsq = mpg^2
oprobit rep77 foreign length mpg mpgsq
foreach i of numlist `replev' {
margins, dydx(mpg mpgsq) predict(outcome(`i'))
}
********************************************************

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
