Subject | st: Re: margins after xtlogit,fe |
Date | Tue, 25 Dec 2012 23:05:15 +0100 |
Dear all, Apparently I missed some important information in my previous question: -margins- should only be applied in the context of interaction terms when proper factor language is set. Thus, xkc_f1 = xkc lnden c.xkc#c.lnden margins eydx(*) will produce marginal effects only for xkc and lnden, which absorb also the effects produced by the interaction term. -mfx- old command apparently reported an effect that is not clear to be right. Further, [XT] manual (p. 234 for stata 12) refers that -pu1- cannot be correctly handled by margins after -xtlogit, fe-. Same thing for -pc1- (p. 285 in [R]). Is this correct or there is any other way for obtaining marginal effects of interactions? Any clue is appreciated.
