Subject: st: probit in 3 steps
Hi,
I am trying to run a probit model with 2 previous selections
equations.  Stata
has the comand heckprob for 1 previous selection equation.
I don`t know how I can run this model.
I hope your help.
Thank you.
----- 
An article in the most recent Stata Journal (vol 6 no. 2) by Lorenzo
Cappellari and me discusses how to estimate multivariate probit models
with selection (-heckprob- is the special case of a bivariate probit
with one selection). We discuss an example and provide code for a
trivariate probit with one selection, but you should be able to adapt
the code easily enough. The Stata programs and example do files are
downloadable from the SJ site
SJ-6-2  st0101  .  Multivar. normal probabilities by simulation, with
MSL est.
        (help mvnp, mdraws if installed)  . .  L. Cappellari and S. P.
Jenkins
        Q2/06   SJ 6(2):4--37
        discusses methods for calculating multivariate normal
        probabilities by simulation and introduces two commands:
        mdraws and egen mvnp()
