Dear all,
I am working with a Tobit with interactions in the following form:
tobit y x1 x2 x1x2, ll(0)
I want to evaluate the marginal effects on Y conditional on exceeding
the lower end and the unconditional change in the observed Y, which
if i am correct, the STATA command for its computation is
[mfx, predict(e(0,.))] and [mfx, predict(ystar(0,.))], respectively.
In the achieve, I was only able to find procedures to manually calculate the
marginal effects on the probability of being uncensored [mfx, predict(pr(0,.))].
I have 2 questions:
1) Are the marginal effects reported in STATA using the above commands
valid when there are interaction terms in the regression?
2) If not, are there any suggestions for procedures in calculating them manually?
I have referred to a few econometrics books and the Internet but
failed to find any thing on this topic. It will be of great help if anyone
could answer this inquiry. Thank you for reading.
