Dear Martin

Many thanks for your quick reply.

Just

******
ssc install xtoverid
******

and then -which xtoverid- tells you the location of the ado. Nick`s -ssc d
fedit- is also great for there purposes...

Betreff: RE: st: xtivreg2 Random Effects and Durbin Wu Hausman

Hi Mark/Steve

I have been following this as I am also trying to generate the DWH
statistic. I have located xtoverid and found the lines where the additions
need to be made. However, how do I get this modified file into Stata? My
first attempt was to download xtroverid from RPEC but when I saved this it
was a .mht file despite the .ado at the end and I could not edit it anyway.
Then I just typed xtoverid directly into Stata and the whole programme just
printed out.

I am sorry if this sounds a very elementary problem but I am new to
Statalist and this is my first attempt at anything 'non-standard'.

Thanks

Hilary Ingham

Yes, not hard to do.

I started working on it, and then switched to a more general estimator that
would allow the user complete control over the range of orthogonality
conditions: Hausman-Taylor, RE, FE, FD, EC2SLS, G2SLS, etc. etc. would all
be special cases using different combinations of regressors/instruments in
mean-deviations/group means/GLS-transforms/levels/first-differences/etc.
etc.  But after I got it mostly working I got distracted by other things.
Someday, I hope, I'll return to it and finish it off.
