Thank you Austin, for all your advices.
I will try it. I am not sure about the consistency of the estimates,
but as i understood, in applying such a procedure (whose i can also
use xtdata, fe) the problem is on the standard errors to be corrected
for the first stage. Anyway, i will try with some simulation.
many thanks for your patience
