Thanks Nick.
It is a very large dataset, but I would still be happy to pass it to
Mark Scaffer.
In any case, I will also try to provide more details about the
commands and the data.
I am using an unbalanced panel dataset of firms over a period of about
10 years. For both xtreg and xtivreg2 I am fitting exactly the same
model. In both cases, I cluster the standard errors at the firm level
and I use fe i(firm). In the iv-model, three of the independent
variables are assumed endogenous.
I hope I have not missed anything else.
Any hints would be appreciated,
Erasmo
