Henrique Neder <[email protected]>:

There is a serious flaw in that two-step logit model--it is not
consistent, and is an example of what Wooldridge (2002) calls the
"forbidden regression" (see section 15.7.3, pp.477-478).  That same
section discusses the MLE for probit with a binary endogenous
variable.
