Just a follow-up. I was wondering how the problem below would change
if I had panel data. So, the first stage regression would be:
z2_it = d_i + b5 * x3_it + yr_t + v_it
z1_it = c_i + b3 * x2_it + b4 * z2_it + yr_t + u_it
y_it = a_i + b1 * x1_it + b2 * z1_it + yr_t + e_it
In this case, should I still just run ivreg2 twice as you suggested
before, with the addition of observation dummies and year dummies?
Thank you again,
Mauro
