st: Re: how to obtain residuals from first stage ivreg

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

First of all, as often mentioned on the list, it is wrongheaded to  
think "I use z1 to instrument x1 and z2 to instrument x2". That's not  
how instrumental variables works. All instruments, included and  
excluded, are used to generate predicted values of all included  
endogenous variables.

You don't have a model in which it will be easy to test for  
endogeneity since it is exactly identified via the order condition.  
If there are other available instruments, by all means include them.  
Then use ivreg2 (ssc desc ivreg2) and employ the orthog option. For  
more details see the Baum-Schaffer-Stillman paper on IV and GMM, SJ  
3:1, available in preprint form from the URL below.
