Nick,
OK, no problem. I should reply by saying that I've attempted to circumvent
this difficulty by tabulating Excel spreadsheets. However, consulting the
literature has not made me entirely clear about the computation. As I
understand it, -dF/dx- as reported in Stata multiplies the probit
coefficients by their corresponding f(z) score. But when I downloaded the
auto-data from Stata, my -probit- calculations of [b*f(z)] didn't match
the marginal effects presented after running both -mfx compute- or
-dprobit- (all of which were MEs of 14 zeros, anyway). Where am I going
wrong??!
