Abstract: 
This paper uses spatial differencing to estimate parameters in sample selection models with unobserved heterogeneity. We show that under the assumption of smooth changes across the space of unobserved site-specific heterogeneity and selection probability, key parameters of a sample selection model are identified. A simple estimation procedure is proposed and the formula for the estimator of the standard error is derived.
