Dear Brian, many thanks for your response as well. However, you said
that the 2sls relative bias statistic is available for 1 or 2 endogenous
regressors, not for any more. Note though that in one of my main
regressions, I have only 2 end. regressors, but no 2sls relative bias
statistic. My equation looks like this:
.. ivregress 2sls
lnexpendpa sex_x age_ age2 adult_equiv dist_healthcent primary_enroll
(road_per_t_pop yield_temp = rain rain_cv )
if year==2000
Minimum eigenvalue statistic = 31.4186
Critical Values # of endogenous regressors: 2
Ho: Instruments are weak # of excluded instruments: 2

Any idea why even 2 endog regressors won't produce a 2sls relatie bias
statistic?
The critical values for the 2SLS relative bias with two endogenous
regressors are only available if you have at least four excluded
instruments. With one endogenous regressor, the critical values are
only available if you have at least three excluded instruments.
