Nirina,
I think your problem can be restated as one where IV estimation gives
you consistent estimates, so my instinct is the same as Dirk's.
Probably you should take a look at -ivprobit-. If your main interest is
the depvar equation, then the -twostep- option should, if I'm not
mistaken, give you consistent estimates.
Cheers,
Mark
