st: RE: Econometrically sound to use Mills ratio after mprobit?

["Maertens, Miet" <Miet.Maertens@econ.kuleuven.be>]

Dear Stephen,

Maybe the following two articles by Wooldridge and by Lechner can help
you further:

http://ideas.repec.org/p/iza/izadps/dp91.html

I'm also trying to perform a similar estimation with stata but I'm
struggling with calculating the Inverse Mills ratio's.  Could you let me
know how exactly you are implementing the procedure?

Thanks,
Miet

Hello,

I am estimating a multinomial probit for a selection equation with 3  
choices and I am interested in using the inverse mills ratio  
generated from the MNP in a second step equation.  I know how to  
implement this procedure, however, I have not been able to find any  
literature that proves that the Heckman two-step estimation procedure  
can appropriately and directly extend from a probit selection  
equation to a multinomial probit selection equation.  Does anyone  
know of any papers that address this issue?

Thanks,
Stephen
