re: st: simultaneous equations for panel data

How can I use stata to estimate a simultaneous equations model with panel data? 
For example:
 
yit  =  a0 + a1*xit + a2*zit + a3*x1it + a4*x2it + e1it
xit  =  b0 + b1*yit + b2*zit + b3*y1it           + e2it
zit  =  c0 + c1*xit + c2*yit + c3*x1it + c4*z1it + e3it
 
I have red on Nabble that xtivreg2 can help in this.
But when I look at its description, I understand that it only deals with single equation models. May be I am wrong.


You can, if the order conditions for identification are satisfied, estimate each of these equations separately using 
Mark Schaffer's -xtivreg2-. There is no need to estimate them as a system.
