It doesn't matter how large your dataset is, all that counts
is how many observations are used in your estimation, and
that is 33 (and only 22 in your probit model), which is a
major problem when you want to estimate 13 parameters. Anyhow,
the linear probability model is not the most obvious solution
to your problem:

First, simplify your model by using much less variables,
I'd say an absolute maximum of 3 variables (10 obs per
variable).

Second, use -exlogisitc- if you want to retain the variables
that perfectly predict your outcome, which as I stated before
was the reason that your -probit- model was mis-behaving.

Hope this helps,
Maarten

Thanks Martin. They are not 33 observations but these are the remaining...

Nevertheless, as you previously suggested, I can replicate the linear
probability model, -probit- and -logit- with the other two similar samples
(with the same number of observations -three different countries-...
without any amount of wizardry in terms of different commands
