> This is what I want to estimate:

> The observed Yi=j if C(j-1)<Y*<Cj with C0=minus infinity. And the
> most important part for me is that the cutoff level C is also a

Look at A.M. Jones, N. Rice, T. Bago d'Uva and S. Balia (2007)
Applied Health Economics, Routledge (ISBN: 9780415387728), and their
downloadable Stata code from
http://www.york.ac.uk/res/herc/hedg_stata.html. See in particular
their generalized ordered probit ("hopit" models) discussion and code
for chapter 4
