Report pseudo r-squared with marginal effect (logit)

[Amy Moore]

Hi,

I am currently using the following code to export the marginal effects from my logit regression results to a word document:

logit y x
margins, dydx (*) atmeans post
outreg2 using output.doc, replace

However, I want to add the pseudo r-squared to my document but I'm not sure how to do it. I would normally use:

addstat(Pseudo R-squared, e(r2_p))

if I was just exporting the logit regression results, but this code does not work for the marginal effects.

Thanks,
Amy

See

help macro

for a way to temporarily hold statistics. More discussion at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs...urnalCode=stja. outreg2 is from SSC, as you are asked to explain.

logit y x
local r2_p= e(r2_p)
margins, dydx (*) atmeans post
outreg2 using output.doc, replace addstat(Pseudo R-squared, `r2_p')
