Hi!

Im new with IV and I want to know if my instrument is relevant/valid.
Its coefficient is significant in the First Stage regression and its Partial Rsquared is high (0.1251).

However, the weak-instrument-robust inference are: 
Anderson-Rubin Wald test     F(1,561)= 0.30      P-val=0.5828
Anderson-Rubin Wald test     Chi-sq(1)=0.31      P-val=0.5803
Stock-Wright LM S statistic  Chi-sq(1)=0.31      P-val=0.5796

Thank you for your help!

Miquel
