Murphy-Topel approach is one common way to adjust the standard errors,
see http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0018. There's
been a special issue of Stata Journal on measurement errors --
http://www.stata-journal.com/sj3-4.html. There were papers addressing
some problems with instrumental variables estimation of GLMs, although
what some statisticians say an instrumental variable is (and hence
implemented in that software) might seem weird to an econometrician.
The only thing that I personally know about rare events are population
based case-control studies where the slopes are estimated
consistently, and only the intercept might be off for some estimation
procedures. Is there much on top of that in terms of what you call
corrections for rare events?
Gary King's procedures are about five versions of Stata old by now
(oh, those wonderful times without the -syntax- command!). I am pretty
sure that something of this kind has already been implemented under a
different name. -relogit- was not a great name, BTW, to begin with, as
my first thought was of a random effect logit (now existent as
-xtmelogit- in Stata 10).
Anything that looks like a GMM can be implemented using Mata's
-optimize()- function, although that would require a good deal of
custom programming. For any sort of IV procedures, you have an
estimating equation that is essentially
sum over observations ( residual times instrument times maybe a
weight/variance function )
Square those sums, add them up -- and you have some sort of GMM
procedure, even though inefficient.
