In a model with binary endogenous w with IVs z,

y = a + b*w + x*g + u
E(u|x,z) = 0

what are the relative merits of usual 2SLS, with a linear first stage for w, versus using a probit for w and then using probit fitted values as IVs in the second stage?

This is Ali Kinani, aged 9. He was shot through the head in his father’s car by the now pardoned Blackwater operatives. They ignored instructions to stay in the Green Zone, came out into central Baghdad & started firing indiscriminately at cars stuck in a traffic jam.

@bglendenning The chap who seemed entirely convinced that Unicef pressured the referee into helping Barca beat his Madrid? It's amazing how quickly people have forgotten that the man is practically deranged.

"He had such an incredible passion for the game."

"I've never seen anyone have such a beautiful affection with a football."

A heartfelt tribute from @GaryLineker to the one and only Diego Maradona...

And a lovely story that sums up his genius ❤️

Hi @Nigel_Farage - I shot the video you've posted here, and explained in my Twitter thread that the protest was about about cold, cramped conditions and access to medical attention for vulnerable people. You've copied the footage, and told a blatant lie. https://t.co/ipOFz94dz9

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. There is one place in the world where a map of #COVID19 cases & deaths reveals a straight line, with a huge amount of disease on one side, very little on the other.
Where? The 3000+ mile border US/#Canada
It's stark.

Marcus Thuram was asked for some identification ahead of Borussia Mönchengladbach’s match against Inter Milan tonight.

So he googled himself...
