The econometrically transparent way to do this is to stack the moment
conditions corresponding to the two regression models, and estimate
them simultaneously specifying that the moment conditions be treated
independently. Use -gmm- to estimate, and standard GMM theory applies
to the Wald tests produced by -test-.
Here is an example
*---------------------------------------------------------------------
sysuse auto, clear
gmm (price - {xb: mpg foreign}-{b0}) /// regression 1
(price - {xc: mpg foreign rep78}-{c0}), /// regression 2
winitial(identity) ///
instruments(1: mpg foreign) /// regressors exogenous
instruments(2: mpg foreign rep78) ///
wmatrix(unadjusted, independent) /// moment conditions independent
// test
test [xb_mpg]_cons = [xc_mpg]_cons
*---------------------------------------------------------------------
