Re: st: how to obtain Murphy and Topel asymptotic variance and covariance matrix in stata

["Hyojoung Kim" <hyojoung@u.washington.edu>]

Mark and other statalisters,

it looks like your suggested James Hardin article deals with the standwich
estimates of variance, which is asymptotically equivalent to Murphy-Topel.
Isn't there any way I could obtain exactly the Murphy-Topel correction?
