Finally, we consider a more complicated example of a regression in which interaction effects are generated with xi.

sg61 Bivariate probit models
James W. Hardin, Stata Corp., FAX 1-409-696-4601, [email protected]
In this article, we discuss 3 different two-equation probit models that researchers may wish to estimate. They include
Bivariate probit regression for models where the two dependent variables depend on the same list of independent variables and
are correlated.
Seemingly unrelated two-equation probit regression for models where the two dependent variables may not depend on the
same list of independent variables, but are still correlated.
Nested probit regression for models where the outcome of one equation depends on the outcome of the other equation.
Interested readers may also find more information on these models in Greene (1993). Note also that although it is not
discussed in this article, these two commands could be used to extend Heckman-type models to consider two participation
equations.
