How to present the first stage in 2sls when using ( biprobit )

27 Feb 2025, 07:14

Hi please i need to present the full set of control variable for the first stage when i run biprobit

can you advice me how can i present the the full set of variable for the first stage when i run biprobit

HTML Code:

 .  biprobit (hard_final_Exact_new = Firm_Size_w ROA_w Leverage_w Market_book_four_w Non_pension_CFO_w STD_CFO_w Board_Independence_w BoardSize_w Gender_Diversit
> y_w Fund_Status_w FUNDING_RATIO_w Platn_Size_ CSR_Committee SustainabilityScore_w i.year i.ff_12 csopresence1)  (csopresence1 = CSO_Percentage), robust

Fitting comparison equation 1:

Iteration 0:  Log pseudolikelihood = -358.54602  
Iteration 1:  Log pseudolikelihood =   -329.264  
Iteration 2:  Log pseudolikelihood = -326.78258  
Iteration 3:  Log pseudolikelihood = -326.74249  
Iteration 4:  Log pseudolikelihood = -326.74237  
Iteration 5:  Log pseudolikelihood = -326.74237  

Fitting comparison equation 2:

Iteration 0:  Log pseudolikelihood = -1925.9727  
Iteration 1:  Log pseudolikelihood = -1705.2604  
Iteration 2:  Log pseudolikelihood = -1704.8319  
Iteration 3:  Log pseudolikelihood = -1704.8319  

Comparison:   Log pseudolikelihood = -2031.5742

Fitting full model:

Iteration 0:  Log pseudolikelihood = -2031.5742  (not concave)
Iteration 1:  Log pseudolikelihood = -2031.5152  (backed up)
Iteration 2:  Log pseudolikelihood = -2030.9562  
Iteration 3:  Log pseudolikelihood = -2030.1775  
Iteration 4:  Log pseudolikelihood = -2030.1553  
Iteration 5:  Log pseudolikelihood = -2030.1553  

Seemingly unrelated bivariate probit                    Number of obs =  3,167
                                                        Wald chi2(43) = 563.40
Log pseudolikelihood = -2030.1553                       Prob > chi2   = 0.0000

everything you've estimated is in the table. Do you mean present as in "present" in a paper?

Dear Professor,

Thank you for your response.

I am facing an issue where the reviewer has requested that I present the full first-stage regression, including all control variables. I am unsure of the best way to present it. Could you please advise me on how to approach this?

Just list both equations in the table. I predict you're going to get grief about the thinly specified csopresence1 model (and if you presented those results, that is already so).

Most obviously, include all the Xs in both but the IV only in csopresence1 within biprobit

That's a sensible way to do it.

Note that /atrho and the Wald test are nowhere near significant (a test of exogeneity), so you could just estimate the first equation and ignore endogeneity.

Thank you, Professor, for all your support. I would like to ask for your advice—unfortunately, the biprobit model does not yield significant results, similar to my primary regression. Do you think using cfprobit would be a possible approach?

It will likely tell you the same -- csopresence1 is not endogenous. Just run it straight with probit.

Thank you for your feedback. Based on the results, the Wald test for ρ=0\rho = 0ρ=0 and the estimate for /athrho/athrho/athrho are not significant, indicating that the error terms of the two equations are uncorrelated. This suggests that csopresence1 is not endogenous in the hard_final_Exact_new equation.

Given this, I understand that a standard probit model would be an appropriate estimation method, as there is no statistical evidence necessitating the use of a bivariate probit to account for endogeneity. Please let me know if you have any further recommendations on this approach.

your can mention that your instrument (CSO_percentage) has an F equivalent of 28.1. While not precise, some people use the F>10 rule in non-linear IV models.
