Dear Stata users,


I run this model:

hetprob crisis m2mult m2reser usrealra creditgd reserves rerdev bfl
privclai shordebt shortdeb, het( m2mult  m2reser usrealra creditgd
reserves rerdev bfl privclai shordebt shortdeb )

You need some decent theory to run these models. A mis-specified variance equation may actually make things worse than no variance equation at all. Conversely, if you take a kitchen sink approach and just toss everything into the variance equation, you may have problems with multicollinearity. oglm (available from SSC) is a generalization of hetprob. You may want to take a look at the oglm support page (and the readings it refers to) for more on the pros and cons of hetero models:
