Hi Mark,
The example with the "ivreg2" help file shows that I have to use the
"ivendog" command after I run the IV regression. This was what I was
doing before and it gives the Durbin-Wu statistic. Is it the same as
the endog() option that you are talking about which gives consistent
even after clustering the standard errors? I could not find the
endog() option in my version of the ivreg2 help file.
Thank you.
Rita.
