Jim,
You are 90% of the way to getting your endogeneity test. As you state, HOLS
is the appropriate alternative for GMM IV. To test for endogeneity in this
context, run the HOLS model with your suspect endogenous variable in the
orthog option. So in your example the syntax would be:
ivreg2 y1 ( = x4 x5) x1 x2 x3 , gmm robust cluster(subjid) orthog(y2)
