Justina, many thanks. In may case both the endogenous X and the instrument Z is also binary, am I right saying that it is an additional reason supporting the OLS first stage, or it is just right as with a continuous instrument? 2011/2/8 Justina Fischer <JFischer@diw.de>: > Hi, > > in your case, using the fitted values of a nl first stage model, yes, you > need to correct the se manually of the main stage. > > Using ivreg2, your first stage is a linear model, as you rightly say.
