st: Interactions using -xtivreg- Instrumental Variables estimation

[David Torres <writeon4truth2@msn.com>]

Hello, all,

So I'm using an instrumental variables approach with two-level data using Stata's -xtivreg- command.  My single IV relates to a level-one time-varying variable.  I'd like to include interactions between the level one variable and dummies at level two denoting sex and race/ethnicity.

How is this done?  Do I produce interactions between the instrument and my dummies, as well as between the variable being instrumented for and my dummies, and then simply insert everything in my model like this:

xtivreg mathsc year male black hispan othrace (var1 var1*male var1*black var1*hispan var1*othrace = instrument instrument*male instrument*black instrument*hispan instrument*othrace), re

or should I be setting the model up differently?

Thanks in advance for your help.
