Subject   st: ivreg2 again (with aplogies)
Date   Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:39:37 -0400

Apologies for resending but I have not been receiving any Stata mail for two
days--have no idea why-- (so I might have missed some possible answers).



I noticed that my ivreg2.ado for Stata8 which I use at home produces different
results (in the first regression: F test of excluded instruments etc.) than my
ivreg2.ado which I use in my office with Stata9. The results are shown below.

The second equation is exactly the same, but in the first  t values and the F
statistic are very different.  The whole thing is run with cluster and robust
controls which I thought were identical in both cases. But they obviously are
not. So am I doing something wrong?
(The more recent version of ivreg2 seems to use degrees of freedom based on
clusters, not on the number of observations which seems to be the reason why F
critical values in the first regression differ between the two versions.)

Any ideas why this is the case and which one of the version is "correct"?

Thanks a lot. Branko
