Re: st: Re:
I have used the usual ivreg however, I am not sure about the validity of doing so as it is including these interaction terms in the first stage which are in fact the exactly value of the instrumented variable simply multiplied by a dummy variable. Therefore, because the interaction terms are based on the variable I am instrumenting I believed that I would have to estimate the two stages separately not including the interaction terms.
If you believe that I should simply use ivreg then I shall.
Thank you all for your time.

Paolo

I agree that the -ivreg- approach is the best one.
(The omission of s in the first stage regression was an oversight).
