st: Re: RE: adjust after heckman
Thanks, Scott!
That worked nicely. I have a short follow-up, though.
Is it also possible, using your code, to set weight and length to specific
values, and not only their means?
Thanks again,
Christer

Unfortunately, -adjust- does not have predict option, but you can
-preserve-, -replace-, and -predict, ycond-.
The following generates the conditional expectation for 5 values of mpg
with
the other variables at their means.
sysuse auto
preserve
qui heckman price mpg weight length , select(fore = trunk )
foreach v of varlist weight trunk length {
sum `v', meanonly
replace `v' = r(mean)
}
forv i = 10(10)50 {
replace mpg = `i'
predict ycond_`i', ycond
}
tabstat ycond*, stat(mean)
restore

Subject: st: adjust after heckman
Hi,
Normally I use adjust (after -regress-) to predict the mean earnings for
variuos combinations of my indeps.
When doing this for -heckman- I suspect that adjust produces the
prediction
for the "latent" mean earnings
(ie regardless of if a person actually is employed or not). However, I
want
to get the mean earnings for the
variuos combinations of my indeps, condtitional on being employed (ie
being
observed).
How do I do this?
Best regards,
Christer Thrane
