  • IV Probit-Newey's two step method, margins

    I am running an IV-probit model, with a binary dependent variable and a binary endogenous variable. As such I am using the Newey's two step method instead of MLE.
    I run the following command-

    ivprobit working_status married male age agesq household_head urban i.education_qualification i.province lntotalincome1 (remittances1=sharexmigrant) , twostep
    where sharexmigrant is my instrument

    Thereafter, I wish to run the margins but the "margins, dydx (*) atmeans post" command does not work with two step method.
    The margins, dydx(*) atmeans post gives the coefficients of the iv-probit itself.
    margins, dydx(*) predict(pr) post does not work with the two step estimation method.

    Is there a way to calculate margins after IV-probit, two step ?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards
    Salman

    Why not just use the maximum likelihood estimator if you need the average structural function probabilities? Or if you want, you can report the two-step estimates as they would not differ much from the MLE estimates and add a note that "the average structural function probabilities are computed after estimation using maximum likelihood".
