Dear Maarten,
Thanks for your interest.
Ok, the question is really confusing, let me try to be more specific.
Consider the following model 'logit y x(i)/sum_x(i)', where variable
x(i) is expenditure for individual i, then sum_x(i) sum up total
expenditures for all individuals, it is a ratio. As stata uses delta
method, mfx command will give me x(i)/sum_x(i) + delta , not
x(i)+delta/[sum_x(i)+delta]. It is a sort of same problem we face to
calculate marginal effects by including interactions in logit model.
