Subject | st: ivreg2 warning but ALL statistics are reported |
Date | Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:12:44 -0500 |
Reposting the question as the old text seemed a bit unclear. Dear Stata users, In my work on estimating wage equation using cross-sectional data I am using ivreg2 command for 2-step GMM. Since the data is cross-regional I am tryig to use cluster-robust standard errors. I have 26 clusters (regions) and 70 regressors (including industry and regional dummies). To avoid the problem of having weighting matrix to be rank deficient I partialled out industrial and regional dummies, which left me with only 3 regressors (1 endogenous instrumented by 3 excluded) for 26 clusters (regions). Nevertheless I got the warning message - > warning - estimated covariance matrix of moment conditions not of full rank. > overidentification statistic not reported, and standard errors and model > tests should be interpreted with caution. > > possible causes - number of clusters insufficient to calculate robust > covariance matrix singleton dummy variable (dummy with one 1 and N-1 0s or > vice versa) partial option may address problem. Overidentification test Hansen J statistic is reported contrary to what is stated in the warning message. The only statistic missing is Stock-Wright LM S statistic. I am slightly confused on how to treat these results. Are they valid? or does the appearance of warning suggest that further work needs to be done?
