confuses you.


Dear Statalist,

for my Master’s Thesis I’m currently dealing with a Panel Data Analysis and
Instrumental Variables, in fact with a xtivreg. The problem that occurred
is, that there is no proper and adequate way to make a random effects
estimation. Xtivreg does one though, but the post estimation for relevant
and weak instruments doesn’t work well. I tried xtoverid, but this fails due
to the omitted variable problem (have a look here:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-09/msg00885.html). Even if I
drop all omitted variables xtoverid doesn’t work. Xtivreg2 on the other hand
can’t deal with random effects. 
In a few posts and e-mails on Statalist I read, that there is a xtivreg2
version developed, which can handle the random effects and the statistics
around that. 
Maybe this would solve my problem?

Thank you very very much.

Kind regards, Daniel Schalling.
