Thanks Maarten. I tried the former but to no difference. For the second, I use Stata 9.1, how can I use version 8.2?

One thing you want to do is rescale your explanatory variables, (e.g. divide totalpsl by 1,000,000) so you get more meaningful parameters. This sometimes also helps with errors like the ones you have. If it doesn't help use Richard's suggestion to start with -version 8.2-.

Thanks a lot Richards.

Here is the oprob command line.

reoprob denentry totalpsl inctotpsl ldvolperpsl incldvolperpsl pslperixc
incpslperixc c1, i(sac)
where sac is the panel ID variable



Please find below the oprobit estimates with the same variables.


oprobit denentry totalpsl inctotpsl ldvolperpsl incldvolperpsl pslperixc
incpslperixc c1

Iteration 0: log likelihood = -819.32506
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -804.45505
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -802.44132
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -801.99999
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -801.98951
Iteration 5: log likelihood = -801.9895

Ordered probit regression Number of obs =

LR chi2(7) =

Prob > chi2 =

Log likelihood = -801.9895 Pseudo R2 =
