For RE to be consistent, the effects u_i must be orthogonal to all
predictors, so you can ignore the u_i and estimate a pooled model.
I.e. use -ivreg2- (ignoring panel structure except for clustering on
country and/or year to account for correlated errors) and sacrifice a
little efficiency in favor of robustness against implausible
assumptions.
