st: re: 2SLS and Hausman test

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

An equivalent test can be performed by -ivreg2-. But in the example  
you give below the equation is not identified. You must have at least  
one exogenous regressor in the parenthesized list that is not already  
in the equation.

ivreg2 ad pse bonus leverage pricebook beta lnsize blockown (roa = pse
bonus leverage pricebook beta lnsize )

What you have written is equivalent to

ivreg ad pse bonus leverage roa pricebook beta lnsize blockown (roa = )

as all of your instruments are already included exogenous regressors.

Let's say you had two additional instruments available, Z1 and Z2.  
Then you could say

ivreg2 ad pse bonus leverage roa pricebook beta lnsize blockown (roa  
= Z1 Z2), endog(roa)

and the -endog()- option would do the test of endogeneity, equivalent  
to -hausman-.

Please see help for -ivreg2- (findit ivreg2).
