You might want to have a look at -xtivreg2-, which has a number of built
in diagnostics and specification tests. The tests are discussed in the
help file, and also in the two Stata Journal papers by Kit Baum, Steve
Stillman and myself.
-xtivreg2- is downloadable from ssc-archives in the usual way: use the
-findit- command, or just -ssc install xtivreg2-.
You'll also need to install -ivreg2- and -ranktest-.
Hope this helps.
