indicates that this is an interval regression model assuming normality.
It seems official -intreg- could be used to estimate this model.
If the unobserved true outcome (WTP) cannot be negative, then the assumption
of normality is untenable, and you should specify an alternative distribution
when you write out a -ml- model. Or
