It's the usual efficiency-robustness tradeoff. If you're willing to
assume normality etc., you'll get a more efficient estimator; but if
your assumptions are wrong, then it won't even be consistent.
The procedure that Wooldridge suggests (see the post by Jean Ries) is a
good alternative; more efficient than straight IV and just as (?almost
as? need to check Wooldridge) robust. The downside is that if your eqn
is overidentifed, you won't get an overid stat from it; but you just
could use the overid stat from straight IV.
Cheers,
Mark
