[Limdep Nlogit List] Triangular Sim. eqn

[Sunil Kumar Singh]

Thanks Dr. Greene. Appreciate the quick response. My mistake in outlining the issue. You are right. It is a discrete choice  problem with endogenous right hand side continuous variable. 
FIML helped to resolve the issue. The technical details in the manual were helpful to comprehend the underlying analysis. I also noticed STATA uses the FIML under IVREGRESS when in reality this is not an instrument variable approach. 

Best Regards,
Sunil

Control function approach.  Add generalized residual,
(y2 - Xp)/sigma2  to first equation.  You need exclusions from first equation to identify system.  First equation is incorrect.  Categorical variable is not a
linear function of RHS variables.   Use a discrete choice model for y1.
Probability
that y1 equals values is the function modeled.  There is also a FIML approach if
(u1,v2) joint normal, but you need to specify equation properly, as noted.
