Given that emploi does not show up as a covariate in the j30b and j30f equations, there is no reason to use reg3.  Use -ivregress- or -ivreg2- which will then report specification tests related to the strength of the instruments (and provide you with the necessary references regarding these tests).

Subject: st: relevance of the instruments

 Hi statalist,
 
I'm running a 3sls model , and I wondering if my instruments are strong. Can we just see it the output results? as example: pdvavg4 is an instrument for j30f. we see that pdvavg4 is significant. It is enough to say that pdvavg4 is a strong instrument?
thanks


reg3 (emploi: emploi = j30f j30b) (j30b = taxeavg4 b5 a2 b2a b2b
b2c a4a a7 a6a  ) (j30f = pdvavg4 b5 a2
b2a b2b b2c a4a a7 a6
> a)
