Dear Stata users,


I run this model:

hetprob crisis m2mult m2reser usrealra creditgd reserves rerdev bfl
privclai shordebt shortdeb, het( m2mult  m2reser usrealra creditgd
reserves rerdev bfl privclai shordebt shortdeb )

I included all variables in the het ( ) option because I am not sure
which one may be causing the problem of heteroskedasticity. And this
is the result:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heteroskedastic probit model      Number of obs     =        833
                                               Zero outcomes     =        708
                                               Nonzero outcomes  =      125

                                               Wald chi2(10)     =       5.73
Log likelihood = -144.4906           Prob > chi2       =     0.8374

Likelihood-ratio test of lnsigma2=0: chi2(10) =    40.65   Prob > chi2 = 0.0000


I have a couple of questions:

1) I understand that runing hetprob procedure adjusts the estimates
and standard errors and therefore corrects for heteroskedasticity? is
this correct? can I conclude that all variables with Prob

2) if that's the case which table I shouls refer to? the first or the
second which shows lnsigma2?

3) since the Prob > chi2 = 0.0000   is less than 0.005, it shows that
there is a problem of heteroskedasticity. Can we tell from the second
tablewhich are the variables causing the problem?


Appreciate your comments and help,


Ismail
