[Limdep Nlogit List] panel-based Heckman model

I would like to run a two-stage Heckman procedure using a fixed effects
panel estimator. I know that FE probit needs a bias correction (which I
don't think has been programmed into software to date, but if it is
available I'd appreciate knowing) based on Val and Vella (2007); so my
question is why not use a FE logit model and compute the inverse Mills
ratio and enter this into the second stage of the Heckman procedure?

 

Any comments would be most welcomed?

 

Thanks in advance
