I will be very interested too by the paper you quoted (Wilde, 2000).

You should read the paper by Wilde (2000) in Economic Letters. If you want I
can send it to you.

Objet: st: simultaneous system of probit models
Hi stata-listers,
which command allows me to estimate a simultaneous system of probit models
y1* = X1b1 + u1
y2* = y1b2 + X2b3 + u2
where y1* is a latent variable and y1 = 1 if y1* > 0.3
Maddala (1983, p. 122) says that this system can be estimated in two
steps if E(u1, u2) = 0. But if E(u1, u2) = d, then the coefficients in
the second equation are not identified. I have doubts that in my sample
E(u1, u2) = 0. Thus, I would be very grateful if somebody could point me
to a test for this problem, too.
Best wishes
Hans
