The new -gmm- command may do what you need. From the Stata 11 help
file:
Description
gmm performs generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation. With
the interactive version of the command, you
enter the moment equations directly into the dialog box or on the
command line using substitutable expressions.
The moment-evaluator program version gives you greater flexibility
in exchange for increased complexity; with
this version, you write a program in an ado-file that calculates the
moments based on a vector of parameters
passed to it.
gmm can fit both single- and multiple-equation models, and it allows
moment equations of the form E{z_i u_i(b)} =
0, where z_i is a vector of instruments and u_i(b) is often an
additive regression error term, as well as more
general moment conditions of the form E{h_i(z_i;b)} = 0. gmm works
with cross-sectional, time-series, and
longitudinal (panel) data.
Might take a little while to set up, but it looks like it might do what
you need.
HTH and sorry not replying faster,
