Re: st: 2SLS IV estimation CODE

[William Buchanan <william@williambuchanan.net>]

Hi Diego,

We're you able to find what you were looking for?  The other option that I stumbled across (now that I have a similar project where my level two effect(s) are endogenous) is to use Mplus 7.  Now they support three level multilevel models, so it would probably be just as easy to fit the model and apply your instruments where needed in the SEM framework.  To my knowledge EQS and LISREL would only allow two level models (although this could be different in the latest release of LISREL).

HTH,
Billy

The endogenous variable I'm instrumenting for is a binary indicator for whether (1) or not (0) parents exercised choice to send their child(ren) to a school outside the zoned area. Controls include typical factors like race, gender, and poverty status at level 2, and school type (regular public, school-within-a-school, school-wide magnet) at level 3.
