st: Heckman selection model, collinearity problem

["Ying Zhou" <ying.zhou@nuffield.ox.ac.uk>]

Hi there
 
I am trying to do a Heckman selection model, looking at the effect of part-time contract on wages, while controlling for selection into part-time work. The syntax I use looks something like this 
heckman logwage educ age parttime, select (parttime = married children educ age)
 
But the output says that parttime is dropped (from the main equation) due to collinearity. I need to keep the part-time variable in the main equation in order to look at its effect on wages after controlling for selection into part-time work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
 
Thanks,
Ying
