st: Re: problem with overid after ivtobit

Indeed, -findit overid- comes up with overid as published in SJ 7:4  
(2007), and with an entry from SSC. As is usually the case, the SSC  
version (ssc describe overid) is later than that in the SJ. -which  
overid- on my system yields

*! overid V2.0.5 07jul2008
*! Authors C F Baum, Vince Wiggins, Steve Stillman, Mark Schaffer

so that is the version you should install. This is true of many items  
on SSC which have also been published at one time or another in the SJ  
or Stata Technical Bulletin.
