Subject   st: Computing Murphy-Topel-corrected variances in a heckprobit model

Dear Statalist serve members,

I am trying to replicate the procedure described by Muro,Suarez, and Zambora in their article 'Computing Murphy-Topel-corrected variances in a heckprobit model with endogeniety' published in the Stata Journal (2010,10,Number 2,pp 252-258) using a Stata dataset. 

But I am not able to get the partitioning (the beginning and the end ) of the matrices (C and R) right , and because of that, I guess, I'm getting this error 'conformatibility error' when computing the matrix M. 
The article makes reference to Hole (2006, 6 (4). pp 521-529). I was able to replicate her results but I am not able to get this one right.  

Here is a copy of the do file I am using the replicate their procedure.  In using the school Stata dataset, I'm assuming that the variable 'school' is endogenous and, variable 'vote' is the selection variable just to replicate this procedure. 

I will greatly appreciate any help. 

I'm using Stata SE 12.1 on a Windows 7 machine. 

Thank you. 
Sincerely

Manish
