R – Using Tobit Model for Data Analysis in R

rtobit-regression

Does anybody know where to find good application and examples (besides the manual and the book applied econometrics with R) using the tobit model with the packages AER?

Edit

I'm searching for a command to compute the marginal effects for y (not for the latent variable y*). It seems to be $\phi(x\beta/\sigma)\beta$, where $\phi$ is the std.normal cumulative distribution function. But how can I compute those effects with R?

Best Answer

It is not in the package, just write your own command. If your regression is reg <- tobit(y~x) then the vector of effects should be

pnorm(x%*%reg$coef[-1]/reg$scale)%*%reg$coef[-1].
