Subject   st: problems with marginal effects of biprobit
Date   Fri, 25 Feb 2005 04:12:22 +0000

Dear all

I�m estimating a biprobit to my child labor problem:
1. Child just study
2. Child study and work
3. Child just work
4. Child neither study or work

So the first probit is regarding to Study: 1 if child study and zero
otherwise. The second probit refers to work probability: 1 if child work and
zero if doesn�t.
      My problem occours when I want to get the marginal effects of the two
equation and all the 4 output probabilities (p11, p10, p01, p00). When I
type the command "mfx" after the estimation I get the marginal effects but
just for the default probability (p11). As show the table below.
I already tried "mfx, predict p10", and all kinds of possible combination,
but it didi not work....
Does some one knows how  can I get the same marginal effects and estimate
probability for all possible combinations, and not just for p11?

Thanks for the help, natalia
