st: May not drop an endogenous regressor

["Mafalda Sampaio" <mafaldasampaio@fe.unl.pt>]

Hi all,

 

I was trying to do the following regression:

 

eststo: xi: ivprobit m2_FP_chosen_AIDS $controls_01 $controls_partner_01
$socialdistance m2_AIDSnpartner (i.m2_worry_bin
i.m2_worry_bin*i.m2_modernFP_nwp = i.m1_worry_bin
i.m1_worry_bin*i.m2_modernFP_nwp)  if  m2_network==1 & m2_gender==0, cluster
(respid)

 

 

 

Where I have one endogenous regressor m2_worry_bin that is being
instrumented by m1_worry_bin. As I also want to evaluate the impact of the
interact of between the endogenous variable and another variable called
m2_modernFP_nwp I include both variables, with the corresponding two
instruments. However STATA provides the following error message:

 

 

. eststo: xi: ivprobit m2_FP_chosen_AIDS $controls_01 $controls_partner_01
$socialdistance m2_AID

> Snpartner (i.m2_worry_bin i.m2_worry_bin*i.m2_modernFP_nwp =
i.m1_worry_bin i.m1_worry_bin*i.m2

> _modernFP_nwp)  if  m2_network==1 & m2_gender==0, cluster (respid)

i.m1_worry_bin    _Im1_worry__0-1     (naturally coded; _Im1_worry__0
omitted)

i.m1~in*i.m2_..   _Im1_Xm2__#_#       (coded as above)

may not drop an endogenous regressor

r(498);

 

 

Any idea what is going on and how to overcome this?

 

Thanks!

 

Best,
