I am using a two-step Heckman regression model and I want to evaluate if probit looks okay, that the model converges, and that there are no "red" flags. One of the estimators that I get is the inverse Mills ratio. Is this supposed to be statistically significant or not? I am using an example from the book: summary(heckit(lfp ~ age + I( age^2 ) + faminc + kids + educ, wage ~ exper + I( exper^2 ) + educ + city, Mroz87 ) ) -------------------------------------------- Tobit 2 model (sample selection model) 2-step Heckman / heckit estimation 753 observations (325 censored and 428 observed) 14 free parameters (df = 740) Probit selection equation: Estimate Std.
