Re: st: Re: Question re Heckman
Dear Adam,
I am sorry, you are completely right -predict, xb- does NOT include the
Mills. This is easily verified because the expected value of the point
estimator of -predict, xb- is not equal to the mean value of the dependent
variable. The difference on the means is indeed the value of the Mills times
lambda.
Again, sorry for the mistake.
Rafa

Rafa,
I solved the problem. But now I think you are wrong: predict, xb
generates values identical to those calculated without including Mills.
What makes you think that predict does include lambda?

Adam,
Yes they do. To eliminate them, you can either create a vector of
coefficients without the Mills' parameter:
After heckman, type
mat B = e(b)
scalar df = (e(df_m)+)
mat coef = b(1,1..df)
mat score nomills = coef
Alternatively you can compute the Mills with option -mills-,
predict xb, use
the parameter of the Mills' ratio to multiply it by the value of
the Mills
and finally subtract it from the xb prediction.
I hope this helps,
Rafa
