This paper analyzes the performance of two-step parameter estimators in sample selection models when heteroskedasticity in the selection mechanism is ignored. The estimators proposed by \textit{J.J. Heckman} [Econometrica 47, 153-161 (1979; Zbl 0392.62093)] and \textit{H. Ahn} and \textit{J.L. Powell} [J. Econom. 58, No. 1-2, 3-29 (1993; Zbl 0772.62063)] are investigated and compared theoretically (asymptotic bias and consistency) and by simulations (both bias and finite sample properties). The simulation results are presented.
