What is the interpretation of inverse mills ratio in Heckman Selection Model ? Why we are including it as an explanatory variable in the OLS estimator? …

I need to compute the Inverse Mills Ratio after the probit command in Stata. From here, I found that predict IMR1, score, will calculate it and store it in IMR1. … Stata documentation for probit post estimation doesn't explicitly state the Inverse Mills Ratio. Thanks. …

As far as I know, the Inverse Mills ratio, $\lambda(x)=\phi(x)/\Phi(x)$, is decreasing in $x$. Thus, I am curious now whether $\lambda(x)$ is in fact strictly decreasing in $x$. … Thus, is the inverse Mills ratio in fact "strictly" decreasing in $x$? …

Then the inverse mills ratio of every observation is calculated and included in a second-step OLS regression of the observations with $y>0$ of $y$ on explanatory variables. … The inverse Mills ratio is the ratio of the probability density function and the cumulative density function of the normal distribution evaluated at the predicted outcomes $x*b_2$ devided by the standard …

I am working on a model where the inverse Mills ratio of a gaussian distribution, i.e. … Is there something known about the distribution of the inverse Mills ratio ? I did not find any answer in the existing litterature. …

I've come across several approximations for Mills ratio, but I haven't found any good ones for the Inverse Mills ratio. … Is there any known closed-form approximation for the Inverse Mills ratio (link) specifically for a normal random variable, denoted as $\frac{\phi(x)}{\Phi(x)}$ for "$x>0$"? …

How do you interpret the coefficient of inverse Mills ratio (lambda) in two step Heckman model? …

One of the estimators that I get is the inverse Mills ratio. Is this supposed to be statistically significant or not? …

selection equation across time across products, and include the same single inverse Mills ratio in each product equation seperately? Or are there other, better approaches to my problem? …

The problem is that I get an insignificant inverse Mills ratio in my wage estimation which means i have no sample selection bias. … Maybe add a variable in the probit equation or something else to get a significant inverse Mills ratio in the wage estimation? …

I have a question with regard to the inverse mills ratio as part of my type II Tobit model (Heckman model). …

β′xi+ (ρσ)(ϕ(α′zi))/(Φ(α′zi)) ............How this has come, especially the numerator part (ρσ)(ϕ(α′zi)? Could you explain in a simple and lucid way? Also, if you could provide proof step by step wit …

For $X\sim N(\mu,\sigma^2)$ , $$E[X|X>\alpha] = \mu +\sigma \frac{\phi\left(\frac{\alpha-\mu}{\sigma}\right)}{1-\Phi\left(\frac{\alpha-\mu}{\sigma}\right)} $$ Is there an analogous expression for when …

OLS about the meaning of Mills ratio I am wondering why some researchers estimate a generalization of Heckman instead of the actual Heckman's procedure. … Instead of using Mills ratio only, the generalized version also includes predicted probabilities, Mills ratio, their squares and interaction terms in the 2 step. …

I have noticed different authors using different forms of IMR, i.e., $\frac{f(x)}{F(-x)}$ or $\frac{f}{(1-F(x))}$ depending on whether they are modeling selection or non-selection in the first-stage m …
