MVTOBIT: Stata module to calculate multivariate tobit models by simulated maximum likelihood (SML)

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: mvtobit estimates M-equation tobit models (including bivariate tobit models). To evaluate the multidimensional integrals, mvtobit relies on Cappellari & Jenkins' mdraws and egen mvnp commands to implement the Geweke-Hajivassiliou-Keane (GHK) simulator. The estimator is implemented with the lf method and supports all the usual maximum likelihood features. Computation time is an issue with many equations. Users of Stata 9 and higher should have a look at the user command cmp.
