Dear Fukugawa-Nobuya

Could you explain a little bit more what you are looking for?
Could you write the equations?

Are you looking for something like 
Lee, Lung-Fei (1978) "Unionism and Wage Rates: A Simultaneous Equations
Model with Qualitative and Limited Dependent Variables", International
Economic Review, Vol. 19(2), pp. 415-433.
which is an extention of Heckman characterized by the following equations
W1=x1*beta1+e1 if S==1
W2=x2*beta2+e2 if S==0
S=(W1-W2)*delta+ z*gamma+e3 
(I am being a bit sloppy with the notation for the latent variable and with
the assumption on the error)
where the S equation is estimated by probit

If so, unfortunately, there is no pre-made program (to my knowledge) to do
this. It is reasonalby easy to do the estimation of the coefficients on your
own thougth, following the explanation in the article given above using 
-probit- 
-predict- 
-by , estimationcommand- 
-predict- 
-predict- 
-probit-

The standard errors will be wrong though (too small), you have to adjust
them.

Best,
Renzo

Dear statalisters,
I would like to run a switching regression on stata7.
A switchr program downloadable at ssc does not seem to help.
It conducts ols instead of probit for the regime equation and yeilds the
results with the same number of observations for both of the main
equations(equations for regime1 and regime2).
Does anybody know how to conduct switching regression without using switchr?
Thank you in advance.
