Dear Rafa and Vicenzo,
Thanks very much for your suggestions.
Rafa, I was looking for a command which controls for both endogeneity and
heteroscedasticity at the same time. ivreg2 (as suggested to me before)
seems to do the job, but I am not sure whether it is the best alternative
for unbalanced panel data.

Vincenzo,
What about the multicolinearity between Xs and Zs?
You are running a model where Y = f [ X(Z), Z] hence the Cov(X,Z) is not
zero.
Andrea,
To account for heteroscedasticity across panels you can use the -xtgls-
command (use the -force- option if your panel is an unbalanced one)
The command -xtivreg- will help you with the endogeneity problem by doing a
similar 2-stage least squares test as the one outlined by Vincenzo.
Hope this helps,
Rafa
