Thank you very much for your suggestion on first stage F and estout.
The following query might be very similar to one posted by a statalister recently. But I am still very confused and would like to ask following:
I am running a regression (below), with the gmm robust cluster option to cater for any arbitrary heteroskedasticity and group correlation. Based on intuition, variable lchx is correlated with the error term. I want to formally test this. Since ivendog cannot be used with robust or cluster , I use the "orthog" option.
Regression:
ivreg2 limp lgdpm lcapm lgdpx lcapx ldist lareap landl island border comlang comcol colony lchx (= lchgdp iecor), ffirst gmm robust cluster(pid) orthog(lchx)
----test reult----
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansen J statistic (Lagrange multiplier test of excluded instruments): 90.466
Chi-sq(2) P-val = 0.0000
-orthog- option:
Hansen J statistic (eqn. excluding suspect orthog. conditions): 0.022
Chi-sq(1) P-val = 0.8829
C statistic (exogeneity/orthogonality of suspect instruments): 90.445
Chi-sq(1) P-val = 0.0000
Instruments tested: lchx
--------------------------------
Included instruments: lgdpm lcapm lgdpx lcapx ldist lareap landl island border
comlang comcol colony lchx
Excluded instruments: lchgdp iecor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions:
1. The C stat confirms that lchx is in fact endogenous and IV technique is appropriate. Is this correct?
2. But which Hansen J stat would indicate whether instruments are valid or not? What is the difference between the two and why is there such a large disparity in magnitude?
Many thanks

Priya,
If you have one endogenous variable, and you want a robust first-stage
F-statistic, then you can extract it from the saved -e(first)- matrix.
Just do an -ivreg2- estimation, type -mat list e(first)-, and you'll see
where the F-stat is saved.
Cheers,
Mark
