Dear Statalisters,
I am estimating a labor demand equation that is "incidentally truncated" in
the words of W. H. Green (2006), since demand for hired labor is only
observed for those who actually hire labor. However, I am more interested in
the effect of a treatment variable on labor demand and I suspect that the
same treatment variable also has an effect on the selection equation -
determining whether or not one uses hired labor. Therefore I end up with the
usual Heckman selection model but with a potentially endogenous variable in
both the selection and the labor demand equation. Could there be an approach
that can allow me to handle the endogeneity problem in this scenario.
