I thought maybe i shouldn't report the critical values because they may be
irrelevant for an ivprobit estimation. On the other hand, I think it can
give some indication on the strength of the instrument and this motivates me
to report them. Also, if they are weak in some specifications then i can
perform a conitional likelihood ratio test (by moreira) to show that the
endogenous regressor is significat (as professor austin suggests in his very
clear presentation on weak instruments).
What do you think?
Best,

In this case where there is no test for weak instrument in
ivprobit: Would you prefer to report stock and yogo as a
crude indication on the strength of the instruments or would
you prefer to say that there is no test for weak instruments
and just report the F-statistic on the exluded instrument
(without comparing it to any critical value).
I'd do both. Why not?
Cheers,
Mark
Best,
Danny
