Arka Roy Chaudhuri <[email protected]>:
What do you mean by "in my case qvf seems to perform better than
ivpois" exactly?  Are you running a simulation with a known effect?
-qvf- is for measurement error only, but my simulations prefer -ivpois-
for every type of endogeneity, including measurement error.
Note that -gmm- supplants -ivpois- if you are running modern Stata.
