Dear Statalisters,
I would like to estimate a model using the reg3 procedure. I have two equations, one where performance is dependent upon innovativeness and 8 other variables, and innovativeness which is dependent upon the same 8 variables. The instruments at my disposal are theoretically not very good.
Thus using the 3SLS estimation procedure does not appear to be a very good option. OLS is technically possible but since the errors are correlated in the model described above the OLS assumptions are violated. Doe anyone know of a way to estimate the problem described above?
Regards,
Erik A. Mooi
PS: the stata model is: reg3 (faa = fab fac fae faf fag fah fai faj2 fak) (fab = faa fac fae faf fag fah fai faj2 fak), nodfk corr (unstructured) ols where faa is performance and fab innovativeness.
