The heterogeneity btw the groups could also be handled by
-xtmelogit-/-gllamm-

Subject: st: Xtprobit - comparing coefficients across groups

Hello,
I am estimating a dynamic probit model using xtprobit following the approach
of Wooldridge (2005) "Simple solutions to the intitial conditions
problem...". My dataset contains observations for 1,200 individuals over 8
years. I wish to allow the coefficients in my model to differ across groups
(6 groups - I have a grouping variable). To do this I am currently
estimating the model separately for each group. [I had used interaction
terms originally but after reading Ai and Norton -"Interaction terms in
logit and probit models" I decided against this]. I now have 3 related
questions:

1) Is there an alternative method which does not require me to split my
sample?
2) Given that the coefficients are really (beta/sigma), how can I compare
the various coefficients (I presume I need to adjust by sigma_u)?
3) How can I test whether the coefficients differ across groups? [I also
plan to look at different two periods so this question will arise here also]

Thank you in advance for any help which you can offer,
Regards,
Stephen
