Expert Solution

Step 1
The marginal effect gives us an effect on the probability. In the probability scale, all effects are non-linear because conditional on covariate values, the probability must be bounded between 0 and 1.
Here we are interested to know the effect of Food on the Case- Shiller Housing Price Index.
