Niko,

I believe the issue is that the instruments matrix is not constructed
exactly the same way in both cases. 

With < iv(l2.X1, equ(level)) iv(l2d.X1, equ(diff)) >, the instruments
for the levels equation and for the FD equation are in separate columns.
With < iv(l2.X1, equ(both)) > they're in the same column.

Does the instruments matrix have one more column in the first case than
in the second case?

Jean
