I misunderstood your previous response and so please disregard my last email.
What i really should have asked is how does the marginal effects
option in zoib combine the effects of all 2-3 equations in the model?
Heckman (I understand it's a different procedure and not really
comparable) uses a mills ratio to do so. Does zoib do something
similar?
