Hi.
I am trying to examine the likelihood of migrants live in different regions. my reference category is small city. The issue is that when I run mlogit, rrr for refugee for living in metropolitan areas is greater than 0 but when I run margin it is negative. how come it is possible? if I interpret mlogit, I could say refugees are more likely to live in metropolitan areas than small cities but according to margin they are less likely. any comment?
