If you don't trust the estimates or standard errors, you might try
bootstrapping.

Subject: st: bivariate probit model and iteration problem


Hello,

I am estimating a bivariate probit model using the bprobit command.
Stata must go through a large number of iterations before it can compute
the estimates.  Additionally, Stata displays the statement 'not concave'
beside some of the iterations.  Both equations in the bivariate probit
have a fair number of right hand side variables and my sample size is
not overly large (approximately 2000).  Should I place much faith in
these estimates?

Thanks very much

Catherine Maclean
