Re: st: Probit Regression Model with many interaction terms

[Tirthankar Chakravarty <tirthankar.chakravarty@gmail.com>]

There is no inherent difficulty, as far as the Stata programming goes:

/******************************/
webuse union, clear
probit union  i.south##(c.age c.grade i.not_smsa c.year)
margins, dydx(*)
/******************************/

Here the binary variable "south" is fully interacted with several
other variables. You should ideally decide for yourself whether you
want to include an interacted regressor as a (quasi-)continuous, or
factor variable, as in the -probit- regression above.

You might find all the materials relating to this topic on Maarten
Buis's website useful:
