Dear Martin, I don't know why my message below didn't post, so I'll try again (see further below).
Dear Brian, many thanks for your response as well. However, you said that the 2sls relative bias statistic is available for 1 or 2 endogenous regressors, not for any more. Note though that in one of my main regressions, I have only 2 end. regressors, but no 2sls relative bias statistic. My equation looks like this:
.. ivregress 2sls
> lnexpendpa sex_x age_ age2 adult_equiv dist_healthcent primary_enroll
> (road_per_t_pop yield_temp = rain rain_cv )
> if year==2000
And the -estat firststage- results look like this:
.. estat firststage

Any idea why even 2 endog regressors won't produce a 2sls relatie bias statistic?
Best,Jennifer
