Hi There, I am estimating the causal effect of maternal education on child health.

My dependent variable ==> Breastfeeding duration. It is ordinal and categorical as having 6 categories from 1 to 6.

My endogenous variable ==> mother's education. It is a binary variable. 1= if mother has at least 8 years of education; 0=otherwise.

My instrument ==> Education reform exposure.It is a binary variable. 1= if mother born in 1987 and further; 0=1986 and earlier.

Due to ordinal and categorical nature of my dependent variable, I need to run IV-OPROBIT with CMP.

Here is my code:

cmp (dependent variable=endogenous variable mother_age_yrs i.region5 i.placeofresidence i.wealth_index) (endogenous variable=instrument mother_age_yrs i.region5 i.placeofresidence i.wealth_index), indicators($cmp_oprobit $cmp_cont) nolrtest

which is equal to:

cmp (bf_kategorik= completionof8years mother_age_yrs i.region5 i.placeofresidence i.wealth_index) (completionof8years=reformexposure mother_age_yrs i.region5 i.placeofresidence i.wealth_index), indicators($cmp_oprobit $cmp_cont) nolrtest

I placed the same control variables in both paranthesis.

My dependent variable has 2,699 observations. Yet, the estimates are for the full sample. Why? Also, what is " _cmp_y1" that appears in the ordered probit regression. How should I interpret those results? or am I writing the syntax wrong??


Fitting individual models as starting point for full model fit.
Note: For programming reasons, these initial estimates may deviate from your specification.
For exact fits of each equation alone, run cmp separately on each.

Iteration 0: log likelihood = -4664.7438
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -4629.733
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -4629.7322
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -4629.7322

Ordered probit regression Number of obs = 2,699
LR chi2(11) = 70.02
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -4629.7322 Pseudo R2 = 0.0075

Warning: regressor matrix for _cmp_y1 equation appears ill-conditioned. (Condition number = 50.918938. )
This might prevent convergence. If it does, and if you have not done so already, you may need to remove nearly
collinear regressors to achieve convergence. Or you may need to add a nrtolerance(#) or nonrtolerance option to the command line.
