Suryadipta,
You may be falling into the trap of installing the SJ version rather
than the SSC (a.k.a. RePEc) version. As Richard has pointed out, the
latter is almost always the more up-to-date, and -ivreg2- is no
exception.
Try -findit ivreg2-. You'll see several Stata Journal versions listed,
and below them,
ivreg2 from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/i
This is the one you want to install.
