Ricardo,
xtreg dv ivs period
margins, dydx(*) over(period)
might do what you want

I wold like to get XB estimates from -xtreg- at fixed points in time. I used a command similar to the one that Maarten suggested for -xtlogit-:
predictnl or = exp(_b[1.group] +_b[1.group#c.year]*c.year), ci(lb ub)
of course, I do not want the eform and my group variable has 3 levels instead of two so I used:
predictnl xbeta = _b[1.group] +_b[1.group#c.year]*c.year +_b[2.group] +_b[2.group#c.year]*c.year, ci(lb ub)
I do not get the correct estimates.
Thank you,

My mistake, you are correct Maarten,
they should be symmetric, and they are, in the or scale.
Okay, I think I got it. If I do not exp() the expression in
-predictnl-, I will get the corret p-values.
Thank you again,

but included the extra optiop -p()- to obtain
p-values
My question is why do the pvalues and the CI do
not
agree?
It seems like the CI are incorrect. They are not
symmetric in the log-scale.
I guess that the null-hypothesis is that the odds
ratio
equals 0,
which does not make sense in this case, but how is
Stata
supposed to
know that our expression happens to be an odds ratio?
The
confidence
interval is symmetric in the or scale rather than the
log(or) scale
because -predictnl- just applies the delta method on
our
expression to
get the standard errors and than moves on to use these
to
compute
confidence intervals.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
