Re: st: Instrument Validity tests for Heckman 1979

[John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>]

Hi:

See the following (if you are talking about an overidentification test):

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-10/msg00915.html

A -heckman- and -treatreg- (now -etregress-) basically do the same 
thing, the difference being that the former has a truncated sample on y.

So, it seems to me you can use the -ltrest- as explained by Mark Schaffer.

Best,
J.
