Dear All,
Does anyone know of any published references to the following problem
please? I would also like to know whether Limdep/Nlogit would able to
handle the estimation. The problem is explained below with an example.
In the first stage, individuals decide on whether to contribute to a
charity or not. In the second stage, given yes, the individuals choose
which charity to give. They can give to more than one charity. The
problem I have is that the second stage is only defined for all those
who chose to go down the route of a 'yes'. This means that if I used a
multivariate probit for the second stage, what do I do with the
probability attached to the outcome of zeros in all of the three
probits?
I hope you all can understand what I am trying to say here.
Thanks very much.
Best
wiji
