Are there any Stata programs (i.e., ado files) to perform a dynamic Tobit
model (with panel data, obviously) and endogenous regressors?
For those of you who want more info on my data, here it is:
1. Dependent variable is essentially linear, but with a big cluster at zero.
The zeros are essentially unobserved on the dependent variable, but this is
due to external factors rather than self-selection (thus, Tobit should be
more appropriate than a Heckman, I believe)
2. It is panel data, where the lagged value of the dependent variable should
have a direct causal influence on the current value
3. There are potentially endogenous regressors. However, I think I have a
good instrument for the key [potentially endogenous] regressor.
Thank you for any help you can offer,
