Yuval said

Moreover, take for example the following system of Kensian (sic) equations:

C=a+bY+u
Y=C+I

Note, that the only way to get consistent estimates in this case is by
the ILS (you cannot employ here the 2SLS)


I''m sure the inability to use 2SLS on a simple Keynesian model will come as a surprise to those of us who write econometrics lecture notes and textbooks, as it is one of the most common textbook examples of IV.
An empirical counterexample:

. webuse klein

. ivregress 2sls consump (totinc = invest)

Instrumental variables (2SLS) regression               Number of obs =      22
                                                       Wald chi2(1)  =   24.24
                                                       Prob > chi2   =  0.0000
                                                       R-squared     =  0.8430
                                                       Root MSE      =  2.8442

Apparently Yuval did not take my response to his point (4) too seriously.
