test is the inverse Mills ratio (defined for both the y2 = 0 and y2 =
1 outcomes). This assumes that the reduced form for y2 is probit. The
same approach works when y1 is probit or tobit.
I have a fairly recent paper that derives the variable addition tests
in this case. If you email me at [email protected] I can send it to
you. I've been bad about posting my recent working papers.
