Bart Vanneste <[email protected]>:
You can try stacking the models and clustering by observation which
should be equivalent to the -suest- approach, but you might also try
bootstrapping to confirm this gives the right answer (stratifying by
three groups: in sample 1 only, in sample 2 only, in both samples).

est clear
sysuse nlsw88, clear
ta south smsa
reg wage hours if south
est sto south
reg wage hours if smsa
est sto smsa
suest south smsa
est sto suest
preserve
expand 2
bys idcode: g n=_n
keep if (n==1&south)|(n==2&smsa)
g hours1=hours*!(n==1&south)
g hours2=hours*!(n==2&smsa)
reg wage hours? n, cl(idcode)
est sto stacked
restore
esttab south smsa suest stacked, nogaps mti
* confirm stacked SEs match -suest- SEs above and coefs match in all cases.
ivreg wage (hours=tenure union) if south
est sto south
ivreg wage  (hours=tenure union) if smsa
est sto smsa
preserve
expand 2
bys idcode: g n=_n
keep if (n==1&south)|(n==2&smsa)
g hours1=hours*!(n==1&south)
g hours2=hours*!(n==2&smsa)
g ten1=tenure*!(n==1&south)
g ten2=tenure*!(n==2&smsa)
g union1=union*!(n==1&south)
g union2=union*!(n==2&smsa)
ivreg wage (hours?=ten? union?) n, cl(idcode)
est sto stacked
restore
esttab south smsa stacked, nogaps mti
