First of all Im not an econometrician.
You said you are using 3 year MA. That means your ‘y’ has U(t), U(t-1)
and U(t-2). Your l.y has U(t-1),U(t-2) and U(t-3). Hence, you have
endogeneity problem.
Now, can you use the Lag3 as instrument? I don’t think you can as your
l.y includes the lag 3.
I think you are artificially smoothing out the data by taking 3 year
MA. It kills off any year to year variations. Also you are loosing
valuable 2 time points.
As I said I'm not an econometrician so I could be wrong and you would
know your data better.

San K

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.
