Dear Statalisters,

I would like to ask whether there is any direct interpretation to the
coefficients obtained from the Ordered-Probit regression (apart from
sign and significance)

I recommend getting Long & Freese's book:

http://www.stata.com/bookstore/regression-models-categorical-dependent-variables/index.html

it is a bit dated (a revision is underway) but it has a lot of good ideas for making the results from categorical models more interpretable.


For instance, here is an example, where the dependent variable is
self-ranking of household's income on a scale between 1 to 5

As always, your answers will be highly appreciated

. oprobit avg_fm_inc rel_age orth_age age if male==1 &  avg_fm_inc>0

Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -150.03974
Iteration 1:   log likelihood = -147.51265
Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -147.51213
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -147.51213

Ordered probit regression                         Number of obs   =        103
LR chi2(3) = 5.06 Prob > chi2 = 0.1678
Log likelihood = -147.51213                       Pseudo R2       =     0.0168
