Is there a Stata-sample selection model for Mle?
First, there’s is a user-written Stata command called movestay designed to estimate the endogenous switching regression model with cross sectional data. It is a full information ML approach, which relies on the multivariate normality of the the error terms assumption, as does the Heckman MLE method.
Can you trick the Heckman model to estimate Roy?
If I understand correctly, you are “tricking” the Heckman selection model to estimate a endogenous switching regression model, also known as the Roy model and Tobit Type 5.
Is the Heckman two step limited information ML estimator more robust?
The Heckman Two Step limited information ML estimator relies only on univariate normality of the marginal distribution, so it is expected to be more robust since that is a lower hurdle to clear. But if you do have joint normality, the Two Step is still consistent, but no longer efficient, especially relative to movestay.
Is the likelihood ratio negative in Stata code?
The signs are a tad counterintuitive, but the authors of the Stata code parameterized ρ as negative (see the conditional expectations part of the movestay paper). The likelihood-ratio test for joint independence of the three equations is reported in the last line of the output.
Which is more efficient, Heckman MLE or two step?
It is a full information ML approach, which relies on the multivariate normality of the the error terms assumption, as does the Heckman MLE method. If this is satisfied, both will be consistent, though the movestay will be somewhat more efficient than doing it in two parts.

How is endogeneity addressed in panel data models?
addresses endogeneity and selection in panel data models under the assumption that one of explanatory variables is conditionally independent of unobserved heterogeneity and idiosyncratic errors in both primary and selection equations and is conditionally continuously distributed on a large support.
