I haven't reviewed Maarten's solution or the appropriateness of your
adaptation, so my comment is confined to your error message. You've
placed -nlcom- on the same line as -margins-. Using your same code:
margins, dydx(*) predict(equation(w1)) post
// note new line here
nlcom e1_2: -1+(1/w1bar)*((pdfp1bar*coeflnp2eq1*(w1hatbar-[w1]pdfp1*pdfp1bar)/cdfp1bar)+cdfp1bar*([w1]shlnp21-[w1]lfp1*w2bar)-[w1]pdfp1*pdfp1bar*coeflnp2eq1*pr1bar)
