Dear Mr Patel

Please obey the rules of the Statalist FAQ in not repeatedly posting a question, ESPECIALLY when it has already received a satisfactory answer!

David Greenberg said, quite rightly, that there is no need to employ systems estimation techniques when you have a recursive system. This is true for continuous response variables, and it is just as true for count data. You can do what you want with single-equation estimation techniques. A full system estimator gains some efficiency at best, and does not affect consistency (or lack thereof) of your estimates.
