Jonathan,
The "bandwidth" (bw) option with ivreg2 doesn't have the same meaning as the
"lag" option in newey2 (or newey2). In your ivreg2 example, try bw(7).
FYI, we did it this way because ivreg2 implements a number of other kernels
besides the Bartlett (=Newey-West) kernel, and "bandwidth" is the right
general term. I admit it can confusing, though.
Cheers,
Mark
