Have any of you estimated a double-bounded dichotomous
choice model using Stata? For those not familiar with the
concept it is a method used in contingent valuation to
estimate willingness to pay. The log likelihood of the
problem is similar to that of a regular probit model except
that here you have 4 possible values for the indicator
variable instead of two. 
 
It is actually quite similar to the bivariate probit model
but constrained to the case where b1=b2 , std1=std=2 and
rho=1. Because of the later constraint I can't use the
biprobit command to estimate since the likelihood function
is not valid at rho=1. 
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated
 
Thanks, 
Alejandro
