Dear Statalist members

I have a couple of questions.
I have the following system of simultaneous equations:

Q= b1*Zq + b2*W +  e     i=1....N  
[Q observed over whole sample]

W= a1*Zw + a2*Q + u      i=1...n < N  
[W observed only for  sub-sample i=1...n<N and missing
for the rest of observations ]

I want to estimate eqn Q for the whole sample. If I
use standard IV the command gives me estimate only for
the subsample for which W is observed. I have been
told to estimate a reduced form of equation W, then
predict W for the whole sample and insert it in the
second stage in the eqn for Q.
Could anyone confirm this?

Second, how should I proceed if D is actually censored
and I want estimated it by tobit?

thank you in advance for any suggestion

Sara
