Ekrem,

This is a bug I accidentally introduced into a recent update of ivhettest, and which I subsequently corrected shortly thereafter.  You must be one of the few who downloaded the buggy version.

If you reinstall ivhettest, the new version should work.

That said, the Stock-Watson point still stands - unless your data are large-T-large-N (i.e., you have a reasonable number of observations in the time series dimension as well as the cross-section dimension), the test provided by ivhettest won't be consistent with the fixed effects estimator.

Best wishes,
Mark
