> Dear Statalisters
> I have estimated a model through the "mvprobit" command of Capellari and Jenkins. I would like to test whether the differences in the rhos are statistically significant. For example, I would like to know whether rho21 is different from rho31 or whether rho21>rho42. Is there any way of doing this with Stata?

Look in e(V) and e(b) using -matrix list- for the names used by the program. Inequality constraints cannot currently be tested directly, as far as I know.

That's relevant if you're having to fit it multiple times. See also -cmp- on SSC by David Roodman.
