Dear Stata-list:

I'm having difficulty with xtivreg2

Each time, the system drops the instruments for the variable L.utsa.
utsa is a state-time variable that varies across states and times. I
checked the instruments: they are state- and time-varying.   I don't
understand why the system drops the instruments.  (I tried xtivreg and
it works, but I would like to use xtivreg2 so that I can get cluster
standard errors and the diagnostics for weak instruments).


Please help.  Many thanks!

Code:
. xtset gvkey year

. xi: xtivreg2 xrdr_ln revtr_ln mktbook_mm ebitdar_ln taxcred ///
    (L.utsa = L.govr_r) i.year trend_AL - trend_WY ///
    if xrdr_count >= 6  , fe cluster(state_sic)
