Well, yes. That is why I called it "Using heterogeneous choice models
to compare logit and probit coefficients across groups." ;-) It builds
on Allison's example and gives various others. But see my handout for

But when I read the paper titled "Using Heterogeneous Choice Models To Compare Logit and Probit Coefficients Across Groups" (Williams, 2009) do you think it also focuses on comparison of coefficients across groups?
