You are correct. Estimating these equations as a system will only gain efficiency. Because the logit is in the linear exponential family as long as the conditional mean function is modeled correctly you will have consistent parameter estimates.

Dear all,
Thanks for your reply.
I actually have more than 2 equations that I am currently running
logistic regressions separately.
My understanding is that estimating them together would increase the
efficiency of the estimates. But is there anything strongly against
doing this instead of estimating a system of equations?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

If there is no STATA procedue, is there SAS procedure?

One possible approach is alternating logistic regression:
V. Carey, S. L. Zeger, and P. Diggle. Modelling multivariate binary data
with alternating logistic regressions. Biometrika, 80(3):517–526, 1993.
I am not aware of a Stata implementation.
