Dear Paloys,

-biprobit- is designed to estimate two probit equations with correlated
disturbances, but not to estimate a simultaneous system. You can even use
-biprobit- if you have a recursive system. See Greene, William H.
"Econometric Analysis". Prentice Hall. Fifth Edition. Section 21.6.6, pages
715-19.

There is a user-written command -ivprob- that that estimates
probit models with endogenous regressors.  Type in

   findit ivprob

to locate, read about, and install it.

Gustavo

Subject: st: biprobit model


Dear all,

Is it valid to run -biprobit- on a model described by the following:

y = f(x, a)
x = f(y, a, w)

In other words, the dependent variable of the first equation is among
the independent variables of the second equation, and vice-versa.

The results of the command gives exactly the same P>|z|'s for the common
arguments (i.e., a), with the coefficients having simply the opposite
signs (i.e., same absolute value).  Variables x and y have exactly the
same coefficient and P>|z|.  Standard errors are the same everywhere.

Much thanks.
