This is a repost of a message sent last week. I am hoping
that if I rephrase my question I will get a positive answer,
but don�t worry If I don�t I won�t repost it again. 

I am interested in doing an overidentification test for a
tobit with instrumental variables. I have one endogenous
variable and three excluded instruments. If I were using
ivreg (ivreg2) I could use the command overid to do what I
want but I have a lot of zeros in my left hand side variable
and prefer to use tobit. 

I have searched the statalist archives (and google) and I
don�t think there is a code that can do what I want
automatically for tobit.  My question is, do any of you have
any suggestions on how to test for the validity of
instruments using tobit? I already did an informal test of
the relevance of the instruments by testing their
significance in a �first-step� regression. 

Thanks
Alejandro
