Many thanks for this suggestion also Austin. I will try to check how
it works. My sample is actually of 500000 observation for like 40000
individuals. However I will try also to run the command with some
random subsample of my dataset (just for computational need).
For the question of instrumenting I will read the references you cite
and try to apply them using mata.
if you have something more to suggest me, it is welcome of course.
