Dear All,

I run two models below with Probit estimation on Stata 10. First model covers firms that collaborate and the second model covers firms that do not collaborate. I want to compare the coefficients' of "s_breadth" variable. I cannot understand quite that whether -oglm- command applies to this type of problem. Can anyone make it clear?


///// example //////

probit radical_d businessgrp logemp continuous_rd process_inn product_inn total_innv ind1 s_breadth if collab_developd==1
estimates store collab1
probit radical_d businessgrp logemp continuous_rd process_inn product_inn total_innv ind1 s_breadth if collab_developd==0
estimates store collab0
suest collab1 collab0
test [collab1]s_breadth = [collab0]s_breadth

First off, given dichotomous DV and probit link, you might as well use -hetprob- as opposed to -oglm-.

Second there are various issues involved in comparing coefficients across groups. Various solutions have been proposed. Personally I think the discussions of the problems may be stronger than the discussions of the solutions. For a summary, see

But, reading the articles listed at the end (starting with Allison's 1999 paper) will yield a clearer picture.
