Subject   st: different p-values in mfx after xtprobit
Date   Thu, 12 May 2011 09:51:38 -0700 (PDT)

Hi, I am using xtprobit model for my research. I want to find the marginal
effect after the xtprobit model. I used the "mfx compute, predict(pu0)"
command and got the results but my p-value is totally different and it turns
out 0.99 for almost all variable. I have attached the xt probit result and
its corresponding mfx herewith. Is there any suggest to get consistent
p-value in calculating the marginal effect?
