Stephen,

I haven't come across such paper, however there have been several papers dealing with selectivity-adjustment using the conditional probabilities of a multinomial logit.

Check: -svyselmlog- (downloadable from SSC) and the references there.

The main point of debate is how to parameterize the conditional probabilities: (1) make a normal transformation, (2) include the cond. probabilities of the those categories not chosen, (3) semi-parametric methods.

If you come across such paper, please let me know. I would be interested in exploring the possibility of writing such a code.

Best,
Rafa

Hello,

I am estimating a multinomial probit for a selection equation with 3 choices and I am interested in using the inverse mills ratio generated from the MNP in a second step equation. I know how to implement this procedure, however, I have not been able to find any literature that proves that the Heckman two-step estimation procedure can appropriately and directly extend from a probit selection equation to a multinomial probit selection equation. Does anyone know of any papers that address this issue?

Thanks,
Stephen
