In this paper estimation of sample selection models using experimental data is considered with some weak restriction imposed on the error distribution. Under a normality setting, the most popular approach is the two-step method proposed by Heckman (1979). But Heckman¡¯s approach relies on the...

This paper considers the semiparametric estimation of binary choice sample selection models under a joint symmetry assumption. Our approaches overcome various drawbacks associated with existing estimators. In particular, our method provides root-n consistent estimators for both the intercept and...
