Dawn,
If you're using -hausman- after ivreg, you won't get the "failure to
meet the asymptotic assumptions" problem if you use the -sigmamore-
option. This guarantees that the matrix difference in the middle of
the standard Hausman test statistic is positive definite.
Even simpler, just to install -ivendog- from ssc-ideas. This will
give you both the Wu-Hausman artificial regression F stat, and the
(Durbin-Wu-)Hausman chi-sq statistic, after estimation using -ivreg-.
Hope this helps.
