Marginal Effects In Multivariate Probit And Kindred Discrete And Count Outcome Models, John Mullahy
John Mullahy
Estimation of marginal or partial effects of covariates x on various conditional parameters or functionals is often the main target of applied microeconometric analysis. In the specific context of probit models, estimation of partial effects involving outcome probabilities will often be of interest. Such estimation is straightforward in univariate models, and Greene, 1996, 1998, has extended these results to cover the case of quadrant probability marginal effects in bivariate probit models. The first purpose of this paper is to extend these results to encompass the general multivariate probit (MVP) context for arbitrary orthant probabilities. It is suggested that such partial …
