Dear statalist,

in relation to the question posted about xttobit, Scott had the answer. Now,
I would like to be sure about just one thing. In the Tobit model, you could
be interested in the following marginal effects:
1)

2)


3)




where y* is the latent variable and y is the censored variable. I just have
two questions:

i) Are the coefficients that Stata gives in xttobit  the ones numbered as 1?
(the marginal effect of the latent variable). I suppose it is this way. If
this were true, I could calculate 2 and 3 from 1 by hand.

ii) Is there any other way to obtain 2 and 3 directly without doing by had?
(mfx compute?)

Thank you to all,
