Hi,
a possible solution is using control function approach.
See for this case a paper by Frank Vella in International economic
review Vol. 34 N. 2 (1993).
Very interesting.

> I am estimating a model with a endogenous right-hand side variable that is
zero for over half of the observations. Otherwise it is a continuous
variable. The dependent variable is continuous. Is there a specific
procedure to help control for this situation? I was concerned that using
IVREG2 might not be effective as you cannot specify that the endogenous
variable should be estimated with a tobit model. It does not appear that
there is a canned procedure with a first stage tobit and second stage OLS
model.
