Dear Statalisters:
I tried this solution but still stata has got some weird outcome. It
works fine when I estimate
ivprobit dependent x y l.z (zz = mz pz), first vce(cluster country)
But when I ask for bootstrapping the cluster-robust vce
ivprobit dependent x y l.z (zz = mz pz), twostep vce(bootstrap,
cluster(country))
It repeatedly gives
repeated time values within panel
the most likely cause for this error is misspecifying the cluster(),
idcluster(), or group() option
r(451);
I have checked from one earlier response of Nick Cox on "repeated time
values within panel" and used "isid id time" but no inconsistency or
error message was reported and cluster option already works fine and is
not misspecified.
Is it some kind of a bug or I am making some mistake?
Best regards,
Shehzad
