Re: st: equality of coefficients after ivreg

[John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>]

Hi:

There is an easier and more elegant solution (several posts on this 
using gmm; thank Tirthankar--he showed this to me). Try:

gmm                                      ///
    (eq1: a_public - {b1}*b - {b2}*c - {b3}*x - {b0})       ///
    (eq2: a_private - {c1}*b - {c2}*c- {c3}*x - {c0}),      ///
    instruments(eq1: y z b c)     ///
    instruments(eq2: y z b c)             ///
    onestep winitial(unadjusted, indep)

*here's the test you want:
    test ([b1]_cons = [c1]_cons)

HTH,
John.
