Dear Maarten cc All,

Thanks for the suggestion, my question is exactly that: how to combine
the two models in Stata? (i.e. how to estimate a non-linear model with
GMM). There's the 'nl' command and the 'ivreg2, gmm2s' command but I'm
not sure how to combine them. I'm also not sure I understand what you
mean by 'stacking the moment conditions'.

Thanks again for the help,

Adrien

One idea would be to estimate the your non-linear model
with GMM instead of non-linear least squares. That would
probably make it easier to combine the two models, e.g.
just stack the moment conditions.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
