Re: st: RE: Problem with ivreg2 for Panel data

[Abubakr Saeed <abubakr.sd@gmail.com>]

Hi

Thank you very much Mark, I got your point and I have thoroughly
checked the thread that you suggested. I have one additional question
in this regard,

My endogenous variable is not time-invariate, which is leverage (I am
regressing performance against leverage and other variables), In fact,
one another important variable on RHS is time-invariate. In this case,
even then do I need to follow the same considerations,

or should I estimate with  xtivreg , and run xtoverid for J-stats, but
how can I get the Hausman test (that is achievable with ivendog with
ivreg2 for cross-sectional data) and F-stat.

Thank you for your useful suggestions.

Abubakr Saeed,
