Use -gmm- and specify that you want the equations to be considered
independently (the moment conditions are independent). Note that the
point estimates are identical from two independent calls to -ivregress
2sls- and the corresponding -gmm-. Throughout, "turn" is the included
endogenous variable.
/**********************************************/
sysuse auto, clear
ivregress 2sls mpg gear_ratio (turn = weight length headroom)
ivregress 2sls mpg gear_ratio length (turn = weight length headroom)
gmm (eq1: mpg - {b1}*turn - {b2}*gear_ratio - {b0}) ///
(eq2: mpg - {c1}*turn - {c2}*gear_ratio -{c3}*length - {c0}), ///
instruments(gear_ratio weight length headroom) ///
onestep winitial(unadjusted, indep)
test [b2]_cons = [c2]_cons
