Hi all,

I'm using Stata 12.1 and am getting different result for ivregress and ivreg2 2sls. To my understanding they should be equivalent, which makes me believe there is a detail in the estimation of one of them that I am missing. My code is below:

ivregress 2sls totpovrt00 totpovrt90 $mining90 $shchg90 $base90 $full90 (mtmscquan90_00=maxsr1) if arc==1, vce(robust) first

ivreg2 totpovrt00 totpovrt90 $mining90 $shchg90 $base90 $full90 (mtmscquan90_00=maxsr1) if arc==1, robust first

I started with an extremely parsimonious model which gave me the same results using both commands. As I added variables, the results began to differ. If I add any of the following variables it leads to different results between the two commands.


Variable	Obs	Mean		Std. Dev.	Min		Max
isc8590		417	.0693959	.0327513	.0171622	.279515
pop90isc8590	417	2999.111	4974.265	166.3676	78940.03

pctage65o90	420	14.35169	2.651081	4.709416	24.75028

Thanks,
Mike
