“…This is given as: where δ i represent the coefficient of Inverse mills ration (IMR) ( λ i ). Moreover, the significant inverse mills ratio indicates that, sample selection bias is present; hence, this justifies the use of Heckman selection model (Heckman, 1979; Amfo and Ali, 2020; Bannor et al , 2020; Mensah et al , 2021a, 2021b). The empirical model for both the first stage and the second stage are specified as: …”
