Hi Mark,
Sorry to bother you again.
I updated my version of ivreg2.
I am sorry if these seem basic questions, but I have not been able to
figure this out.
I did use fwl and specified the model as follows:
But I got an error.
Can you please tell me, can the fwl option be used with 2SLS?
Why doesn't ivreg2 like my choice of a variable for fwl?
Ramani
