Dear John (again),

I was surprised that you were unable to find an existing R function that estimates a probit model by IV and so I tried a Google search for "probit instrumental variables R", which turned up the ivprobit package as the first hit. That package is also mentioned in the Econometrics CRAN taskview <https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Econometrics.html>.

The model fit by the ivprobit() function in the ivprobit package is a bit more general than the one in Wikipedia (at least by my quick reading of both) in that it permits more than one endogenous explanatory variable.

Best,
 John

Dear John,

The Wikipedia page to which you refer appears to have all the information you need to write your own straightfoward R program for the 2SLS or ML estimator for a probit model.

I hope this helps,
  John

Dear All,

I stumbled on a Wikipedia page describing the Two stage least-squares with a probit model with implementing a consistent estimator in binary variable regression. How do I implement this method in R? It is related to instrumental variables estimator. I looked in ivreg and plm package and found nothing I think related.

Best regards,
John
