Hi everyone,
I am are using "matched" data (nearest-neighbor matching based on propensity scores) and thus the standard errors (and test statistics) for Stata's oprobit coefficients are incorrect because oprobit's variance formula ignores the additional variance that arises from multiple matches to the same unit (i.e., the matching process itself adds variability to the sample that must be incorporated into the var-cov estimate). I therefore use a variance formula supplied by Abadie and Imbens (2004), but I do not know how to incorporate this adjusted variance estimate for the sample into an ordered probit calculation. If I were doing OLS, I would just calculate the standard errors by inserting the adjusted variance estimate into the standard formula, but I am unsure how I can use our variance estimate to generate the standard errors of the ordered probit coefficient estimators.
Thanks for your help,
