Thanks for the clarification! Mills' not Mill's - mental note. There
seems to be some confusion on the computation of marginal effects for
the TPM I described as some authors still suggest combined marginal
effects. This paper for example distinguishes the Heckit model and its
inverse Mills' ratio from the TPM yet presents combined marginal effect
calculations in both instances:

Nick is in a pedantic mood today(*). He correctly pointed out to me
privately that it is Mills' ratio and not Mill's ratio. (And the moment
he told me, I remembered that he made that point before, and at that
time I made a mental note not to make that mistake...
