Dear Jorge
Thank you for replying. Yes I am estimating a dynamic model. Sorry for not mentioning the whole story. I am estimating with system GMM and I want to test whether my instruments are weak with the first stage statistics of -ivreg2-. In the system GMM setting I am considering treating the 3-year MA variable as predetermined and instrumenting it with lags 3 and longer, but I am not completely sure if this is the way to go about it either.
However, my main question is still how the MA variable should be treated in the -ivreg2- setting.
Regards Soren
