Martin,
According to the help file, one of the dependent vars has to be binary,
whereas the other has to be continuous. If she could find a cut-point
and collapse that variable, it would be a simultanous probit. However,
I don't think that the cdsimeq is exact what she wants. She wants one
where the two endogenous variables are dichotomous. Moreover, she
might want something other than 2sls estimation.
