I suspect that 'districtid' is a string variable in which case -ivregress-
incorrectly marks out the estimation sample. This behavior will be fixed
in the next Stata update.
What exactly are Stata commands supposed to do when string variables are used in the vce(cluster clustvar) option?
In [U] 20, p. 300, the dataset -auto7- is evidently used to run a regression (via -regress-) using a string variable, manufacturer, as a cluster variable. That works fine. But in -ivregress- it does not. Are you saying that -ivregress- will be fixed so that
ivregress 2sls mpg weight foreign, cluster(manufacturer)
works properly (identifying 23 clusters) when applied to manual dataset auto7?
