st: Re: Estimating SEs for interacted IVs in a 2-stage Probit

["Sergiy Radyakin" <Radyakin@aoek.uni-hannover.de>]

Hello Statalisters,

May I repost my question from Febr. 20 this year?
I still haven't received any replies :(

In short:
 I can estimate SEs for interacted variables in a regular probit model.
 How do I do this if one of them is an IV (in an IV-probit)?

Thank you, Sergiy
