I highly recommend you read up on -heckman- in
http://www.stata-press.com/books/mus.html, chapter 16.6, or the manual entry
[R] heckman.
The whole point of the -twostep- estimator is that you derive the mills
ratio from the first stage -probit- and plug this estimator into the second
stage estimation. You can do that by hand, but you would have a hard time
adjusting the standard errors for the fact that one of the regressors in the
second stage is based on an estimate (with an associated sampling variance)
itself. So it is much easier to have all of it done via -heckman-...

Dear STATA List!
It seemed that Mills ratio is based on the first probit regression instead
the first and second stage of the model.
Then what is the function of heckman two step here?
Thank you!
