Thank you Scott. I will try to answer myself, with what I found out, and try to stimulate more discussion.

The command intreg can be used to address heteroscedasticity. I copy the code below.

I think that the same could be exploited to address autocorrelation, but I doubt that the code below is correct. Intreg allows modelling the variance of the error term as function of some variables. Would modelling the variance as a function of the lagged dependent variable be equivalent to a Cochrane-Orcut correction of autocorrelation in OLS?

Any help/comment would be much appreciated. Thank you.

*the tobit
xi:tobit y $X, ll(0)

*some necessary variables
gen y2 = y
replace y2 = . if y<=0
gen y3 = y
replace y3 =0 if y<=0

*intreg which replicates the tobit
xi:intreg y2 y3 $X

*intreg which replicates the tobit and accounts for heteroscedasticity
xi:intreg y2 y3 $X, r

*intreg which replicates the tobit, accounts for heteroscedasticity 
*and MAYBE(??????) takes care of autocorrelation 
xi:intreg y2 y3 $X, r het(y_lag)

You might want to try -clad- which allows heteroskedastic errors.
