Dear Janet,
Sorry, I was not clear enough. The code can do either the original Cragg
model where the two errors are assumed to be independent, or the
extension made by Jones amongst others that they are correlated. For
this see
Jones, Andrew "A Note on the Computation of the Double-Hurdle Model with
Dependence...", Bulletin of Economic Research 44:1, 1992, pp. 67-74

Subject: RE: st: RE: Maximum likelihood estimation of tobit and probit
Thanks Julian for this information.
However, the errors in the two equations are assumed to be correlated.
This
is a case of child labor and schooling. So the two decisions are
different
but potentailly jointly determined. I want the child schooling to be a
probit but the child labor to be a tobit (modeling hours of work)
instead of
it being another probit (you work=1 or do not work=0). I have experience
with estimating bivariate probit models (two probit equations) but not
where
a probit and a tobit are estimated simultaneously. May be it is some
type of
a seemingly unrelated regression.
Anyone else out there who can help or who has done something similar?
Thanks,
Janet
