This one's easy to answer, but the answer is not entirely satisfactory:
ivhettest supports ivreg, ivreg2 and regress but not ivregress (see the
help file).

Something for my (unfeasibly long) to-do list.

In the meantime, you can use ivreg or ivreg2 to do the estimation.

FYI, official ivreg is still available in Stata 10 and Stata 11: -help
ivreg- brings up the message that it is an out-of-date command, but the
command does still work.

Cheers,
Mark

>       estimation.  It will also perform the related standard
