Re: st: outreg- including Heckman estimation results

[John Luke Gallup <jlgallup@pdx.edu>]

Suryadipta,

You have found a bug, which only occurs when you use the -keep- option of -outreg- in a multi-equation estimation (like -heckman-) and then use the -eq_merge- option.  I had never tried this combination before.

Until I fix the underlying bug, you can get around the problem by changing -keep(var1 var2 var3)- in the -heckman- command to -keep(ln_var:var1 var2 var3 depvar:var1 var2 var3)-.
