AW: st: ivtobit with lagged dummy variables as instruments

Hi charles,
Thanks for the suggestion.
However my data set is a panel that I pool over the survey years.
I need the robust std errors (in order to control for clustering on the individual) . Two step does not offer this option.

Betreff: Re: st: ivtobit with lagged dummy variables as instruments
try the twostep option, for example (from the stata manual) :
clear
webuse laborsup
describe
ivtobit fem_inc fem_educ kids (other_inc = male_educ), ll(12) twostep
summ other_inc
drop in 298 //delete inf. obs.
summ other_inc
scalar minv = r(min)
display minv
ivtobit fem_inc fem_educ kids (other_inc = male_educ), ll(.70566559) twostep
PS I had problem entering the scalar minv in the ll option of ivtobit,
so, i just copied.
Charles
