How to report a constant term in a probit model?

[Hakan Gunduz]

Hi all,

I have a probit regression and I present the results based on marginal effects. I was told that I needed to report the constant term as well.

Is there a way to do that? Stata provides me with a number when I use

margins, dydx(_cons)

but I highly doubt that it has a meaning. Should I report the constant term as it is or is there another way to follow to make it meaningful?

Thanks!

I also doubt it has a meaning. There is, in any case, no such thing as the marginal effect of the constant term. So reporting a constant term from the probit regression along with a bunch of marginal effects is mixing very different things in the same table. So I would have one table reporting the -probit- output, including its constant term, and a separate table showing the marginal effects of the variables of interest.
