Hi, I have used the heckit function in micEcon. Now I would like to evaluate the fit of the probit part of the model but when I enter AIC(sk$probit) I get this error Error in logLik(object) : no applicable method for "logLik" How can I then get the AIC for this model? Side question: If you know - from the top o...

...ave better suggestions? (* T. Amemiya (1984): Tobit models: a survey, Journal of Econometrics, and T. Amemiya (1985): Advanced Econometrics) Furthermore, the generalized tobit model of type 2 is identical to the Heckman model. Until now the package "micEcon" contains a function "heckit( )" that performs a two-step estimation of the Heckman / Tobit type 2 model. The difference between "heckit( )" and "tobit2( )" is that "heckit( )" performs a two-step estimation, while "tobit2( )" performs a maximum likelihood estimation. At the mom...

Hi, I am currently usind R to do a heckit maxlikehood model and I was wondering if there is anyway to do it but specifying the robustness of the std error. I would like it robust. I am currently working with: heckit(selection= ,outcome= , method "ml") Is there anithing else to type into this function to manage that? if not, I...

...ve data for voting behaviour on two (related) binary votes. I want to examine the second vote, running separate regressions for groups who voted different ways on the first vote. As the votes are not independent, I guess that there is an issue with selection bias. So, I think I would like to fit a heckit style model but with a binary dependent variable - so, in effect, two successive probits. Is there a way to do it in R? (Alternatively: am I thinking about this the right way?) Cheers David

When using function heckit() from package ‘sampleSelection’, is there anyway to make t-tests for the coefficients using robust covariance matrix estimator? By “robust” I mean something like if a had an object ‘lm’ called “reg” and then used: > coeftest(reg, vcov = vcovHC(reg)). I’m asking this because in Stata we could...

Dear R Help, I'm using the sampleSelection library to run a heckman model. The default is to use a probit model for the selection equation. I would like to know if it is possible to use a clog-log for the selection equation either with the sampleSelection library or in a different way. Is this possible? I'd appreciate any advice! -- Dan McDowell [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...o-step Heckman regression model. I would like to make an adjustment for intragroup correlations. Stata can implement this with the "cluster" option, but I am really hoping to stick with R. It seems that the micEcon package is the primary source for this two-step regression model (i.e., heckit), but I can't find a way to make the adjustment. Am I overlooking something with this package or other packages? Brian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Team, I am trying to resolve the self-selection bias of a sample in an experiment and would like to run the Heckman Correction Estimation using R. Can someone help me with the R-Code... I tried searching for the discussion, but not successful. Thanks in advance, Best, Kishore/.. http://kaykayatisb.blogspot.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, I would like to publish a function for 'heckit' estimations together with two examples from Greene's and Wooldridge's econometric textbooks. These examples use the dataset of Mroz (1987) that is also available in John Fox' "car" package. However, not all variables that are used in my examples are available in the &...

I have so far used the following command glm(formula = s ~ age + gender + gemedu + gemhinc + es_gdppc + imf_pop + estbbo_m, family = binomial(link = "probit")) My question is 1. How do i discard the non significant selection variables (one out of the seven variables above is non-significant) and calculate the Inverse Mills Ratio of the significant variables 2. I need the inverse

Hi, I wrote a function to perform a two-step Heckman (also known as "heckit") estimation. This function is mainly a wrapper function to "glm" (1st step probit estimation) and "lm" (2nd step OLS estimation). Though this function is not perfect yet, it is IMHO already very useful. Since there were some questions about Heckmann estimation in this...

Hi all, i am wondering if there?s any other method to adjust for selection related bias of estimates except propensity scoring and heckit / mills ratio approach? i also read documentation of Match and twang package so far, so i don?t speak of any ATE / ATT related methods, respectively any methods that match or stratify... Is there something else ? thx in advance

Hi All, I've been having a little trouble with creating a loop that will run a a series of t.tests for inspection, Below is the code i've tried, and some checks i've looked at. I've used the get(paste()) idea as i was told previously that the use of the eval should try and be avoided. I've run a single syntax to check that my systax is correct and works without any problems
