One more thing, Lynn--this discussion has come up a couple of times; 2sls (i.e., the ivreg-type estimators) usually include all exogenous controls in all equations by default. Thus, to be on safer statistical ground, you would need to include x1 in all equations:

reg3 (y x1 x2 x5 ) (x2 x3 x4 x1) (x5 x6 x7 x1), 2sls

Under some circumstances you'd be fine putting x1 in the y equation, but not in the x2 and x5 equation. Though it is always safer to put x1 in all equations. For details see:

Baltagi, B. H. (2002). Econometrics. New York: Springer.

Welcome.

Though I must have been very tired that day because the second sem code was incorrect, even after my second mea culpa. The first sem code, with ", covstructure(e._OEn)" was right. For the second one, if you wish to explicit correlate the disturbances you should do ", covstructure(e.x2*e.x5 e.y*x2 e.y*x5)". The Wald postestimation test of the covariance = 0 would be the Hausman test.

Best,
J.
