Re: st: marginal after biprobit

[Ayman Farahat <ayman.farahat@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Dimitriy 
That was very helpful. 
I have a follow up question on how to interpret the correlation coefficient (artrho, or rho)

In case when i have :
 biprobit (isclosed = myfailpricerisk lreviewnumber) (isgroupon = mygrouponziprisk mygrouponpricerisk lbrate)
The correlation measure the degree of association between the un-observed factors in equation 1 (isclosed) and equation 2 (isgroupon)
so if i have a positive and significant correlation i can conclude that the unobserved share some common  determinants . 


In second case 
 biprobit (isclosed = myfailpricerisk lreviewnumber ISGROUPON) (ISGROUPON = mygrouponziprisk mygrouponpricerisk lbrate)
how do you interpret the correlation?
I have found that the correlation switch signs from first to second case?

Best
Ayman

Ayman,

biprobit is the right command. Austin Nichols has instructions on
calculating the AME here:
www.stata.com/meeting/chicago11/materials/chi11_nichols.pdf.

There are several ways of doing it, some are better than others, but
they tend to produce similar results.
