Thanks Nick:
In help file for ivprobit, they do ask for cluster variable but even
without that stata says "vcetype 'cluster' not allowed"
ivprobit dependent x y l.z (zz = mz pz), vce(cluster) twostep first
vcetype 'cluster' not allowed
r(198);
ivprobit dependent x y l.z (zz = mz pz), vce(cluster country ) twostep
first
vcetype 'cluster' not allowed
r(198);
Best regards,
Shehzad
