This is the command I typed into Stata: > > xtivreg2 depvar varlist_1 (var1 var2 = iv ivdum2-ivdum8), fe So dependent variable is called "depvar" etc? OK... My guess is that you have collinearities that are causing some of the instruments to be dropped. -xtivreg2- is pretty good about checking for collinearities. Try estimating with everything as a regressor and see if anything gets dropped because of collinearities: xtivreg2 depvar varlist_1 var1 var2 iv ivdum2-ivdum8, fe or xtivreg2 depvar varlist_1 iv ivdum2-ivdum8, fe --Mark > ...and this is the error message I incurred: > > "Warning - singleton groups detected. 1 observation(s) not used. > equation not identified; must have at least as many instruments not in > the regression as there are instrumented variables > r(481);" > > I am using Stata/IC 13.1 for Windows (32-bit), and according to -ado > dir- all commands including -xtivreg2- are up to date. > > Can you help? > > Thanks, > Marc > > Am 13.11.2013 15:06, schrieb Schaffer, Mark E: > > Marc, > > > > Can you show us the actual output?
