Adam,

Yes they do. To eliminate them, you can either create a vector of coefficients without the Mills' parameter:

After heckman, type
mat B = e(b)
scalar df = (e(df_m)+)
mat coef = b(1,1..df)
mat score nomills = coef


Alternatively you can compute the Mills with option -mills-, predict xb, use the parameter of the Mills' ratio to multiply it by the value of the Mills and finally subtract it from the xb prediction.

I hope this helps,
Rafa

Does anyone know whether HECKMAN predict, xb included the values of the
Mill ratio in the predicted values? If yes, how to eliminate it?
