The classical Heckman (1976, 1979) selection correction estimator (heckit) is mis-specified and inconsistent if an interaction of the outcome variable and an explanatory variable matters for selection. To address this specifi cation problem, a full information maximum likelihood estimator and a...

Obesity may not only be linked to undesirable health outcomes but also to limitations in sexual life. The present paper aims to assess whether there is a causal relationship between weight loss and sexual activity in adult obese individuals. To address the endogeneity of weight loss that is...
