Exporting marginal effects using esttab

[Stephen Okiya]

Hi,

I am trying to export marginal effects to word document using the code below

*** Wage vs Non-wage
logit wage idp [pweight = pweight]
eststo margin: margins, dydx(*)
est sto m5
logit wage idp female age poor i.hhh_edu [pweight = pweight]
eststo margin: margins, dydx(*)
est sto m6
*esttab m5 m6 using "${gsdOutput}/Paper/emp_idp.rtf", replace

However, the coeeficients rather than the marginal effects are the ones being exported. Is there anything am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Stephen.

esttab is from Stata Journal, authored by Ben Jann (you are asked to explain). Your issue is that you do not include the -post- option in your margins command, so the margins and their VCE are not set as estimation results. esttab will pick out the stored estimates which will be the regression output.
