Hello,
I�m working with survey data on gender wage gap. I�m using the �svy heckman 
command, and I have a few questions about the table results:
 
. svy, subpop(female_wa): heckman l_sal_hh (age age2 ann� Anjouan Moheli tenu 
tenu2 j2 j3 j_ic1 j_ic2 j_ic4 j_ic5 j_ic6 j_ic7 j_ic8 j_ic9), select
(female_occ= mari� div_al age age2 enfant petit_enf ann� Anjouan Moheli)
(running heckman on estimation sample)
 
Survey: Heckman selection model
(regression model with sample selection)
 
Number of strata   =        39                  Number of obs      =      1279
Number of PSUs     =       235                  Population size    = 1286.6096
                                                Subpop. no. of obs =      1279
                                                Subpop. size       = 1286.6096
                                                Design df          =       196
                                                F(  13,    184)    =      9.78
                                                Prob > F           =    0.0000

- I don�t know how to interpret the significance of  the coefficient of 
lambda, sigma and rho. In the heckman command without svy, STATA provides a 
LR test of independent equation (rho=0), in the bottom line. 
-          But in the case with �svy command,  there is no test and I do not 
know how to evaluate if there is sample selection or not.
 
- About normality: the consistency of the Heckman model should depend on the 
assumption of normality. I looked for some tests on residuals, but in the �
svy heckman post estimation command I can�t find any (It looks like the 
command predict residuals is not allowed). How can I test for normality in 
this case?
  
- About -svy: how do I interpret the design effect (196)? 
 
Thank you very much for your attention.
 
Simona
