Thank you for taking your time. I apologize for being so imprecise. Panel data yes. T=20 annual data. N=46 countries. Just the one independent variable is a 3-year MA while the rest including the dependent variable are single year observations.
Regards Soren

I am estimating with system GMM and I want to test whether my instruments are weak with the first stage statistics of -ivreg2-. In the system GMM setting I am considering treating the 3-year MA variable as predetermined and instrumenting it with lags 3 and longer, but I am not completely sure if this is the way to go about it either.
