Yang,
If you are concerned about heterosckedasticity you can use the -ro- option
within the full maximum likelihood estimates. However if you are interested
in the -two-step- option the you can try performing the two-steps your self
by generating the inverse mills ratio:
heckman depvar indvar, select(select) two m(mymills)
This will generate the non-selection hazard -mymills-, use this as a
regressor in -reg-
reg depvar indvar mymills
You will be able to use all diagnostics after the second step equation.
I hope this helps,
Rafa

Subject: st: Model specification for the Heckman 'twostep' model
Dear Statalist,
Our research has applied the Heckman self-selection model with the twostep
option. We have a crucial requirement to check our model specifications.
However, with the current build-in commends in STATA such as hettest,
whitetst, rvfplot, ovtest, linktst etc, we are unable to approaching the
regular checking on homoscedasticity, normality of residuals,
non-linearity and model specifications.
We are appreciated if you could provide any suggestions on STATA commends
can help us to cover this requirement as a necessary for our research. Or
possibly, are there any ad hoc model specifications requires to be checked
in relation to the robustness of our heckman estimation?
Best Regards,
