Dear Nick,
sorry, I didn't want to annoy you. I had understood that David Roodman
said that -poisson- cannot be used with -cmp-.
However, -poisson- does not seem the right method for my research anyways.
So, I compared my dependent variable (number of experts) to the number
of kids, which is treated as -oprobit- in the -cmp- example in
Statalist. I don't really see a great difference between these
variables.
However, I will also try to find out about "binomial" models. Actually
I don't know anything about these models, and how to estimate them in
Stata. Neither have a seen a paper with a categorical variable like
mine using this method.
Laura
