Dear Stas,
thanks for your response. I really want to report the results
separately for rural and urban locations. Could you give me more one
advice, please?
This is my output after mfx
. mfx
Marginal effects after svy:heckman
y = Fitted values (predict)

place_live *| 3.154186 .10662 29.58 0.000 2.94522
3.36316 .837693
Can I just calculate the effects of years_study doing:
Dummy=0 effect years_study = .2013313
Dummy=1 effect years_study = .2013313 + ( -.0511932 )= 0.15014
In this case, if the person lives in the rural, one more year of study
increase the lnincome in 0.2013313. If lives in the urban, one more
year of study increase the lnincome in 0.15014.
Thanks a lot,
Joao Lima
