Thanks for every advice It was much simple to approach this topic
By the way it remain a doubt onthis double hurdle estimation:
Can a right prediction on Y
be obtained predicting the probabilities at the first stage ("predict
Phat, xb" probit) and multiplying those for the predicted values of Y
("predict Yhat, xb" from the truncreg) .?
anyboby?
