Dear  Maarten,
I tried the example below and the biprobit and probit are the same but
the marginal effects are not when I just use
-mfx, compute- after biprobit and after probit.
which mfx is appropriate to get the same marginal effects from
biprobit and probit?

Do you think the same holds for the Seemingly Unrelated  Biprobit?
(correlation zero, and calculate two separate probit?) to see mainly
the effect of private on vote for example?
biprobit (private =  loginc   logeduc years) (vote =  private  loginc
logeduc years), constraint(1)
Many thanks.
