Dear Sergiy,

Thank you for your message. Probably, you misunderstand my question
nor I am clear in raising a question.

For example:

sysuse auto, clear

reg price price wgt mpg c.wgt#c.wgt c.mpg#c.mpg c.wgt#c.mpg


      Source |       SS       df       MS              Number of obs =      74

       Total |   635065396    73  8699525.97           Root MSE      =  2191.8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I would like to calculate the marginal effects of weight and mpg
on price by using command:
margins, dydx(weight mpg)

and get ->

Average marginal effects                          Number of obs   =         74
Model VCE    : OLS

Expression   : Linear prediction, predict()
dy/dx w.r.t. : weight mpg

             |      dy/dx   Std. Err.      z    P>|z|     [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
      weight |   .5360966   .6516553     0.82   0.411    -.7411243    1.813318
         mpg |  -262.0502    103.681    -2.53   0.011    -465.2612   -58.83919
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My question is how to obtain or store in to scalar or whatever in
stata values of 0.5360966 and -262.0502 in the above table?

If i use mfx , after that using matrix list e(b) as you suggested, it
will give me coefficients of the regression. To some extent, it can
say that these are marginal effets, but not what I would like to
obtain.

Any suggestion are highly appreciated. Thanks
