Thanks for this comment. However, I am not sure I understood it correctly.
Say that I want to estimate
y x xe
where y is the dependent, x and xe the independent variables, where xe are the independent variables presumed to be endogenous.
The Heckman two--step is described by
heckman y x xe (selection= x xe excl)
where excl are the exclusion restrictions and selection is some binary selection variable.
the IV would look something like
ivregress 2sls y x (xe=instrumentals).
Are you saying that I should use "instrumentals" instead of xe in the selection equation, then predict using predict select_xb, psel (=p_hat) and then just add psel to the instruments in ivregress, so that the latter becomes
ivregress 2sls y x (xe=instrumentals p_hat)?
I am not sure this is what you meant. thanks in advance?
