Hi Mark.
Thanks for your reply. Indeed, I may have phrased my answer badly. As
I understand it, the Anderson-Rubin test provided by the xtivreg2
command is the joint test

H0: x1=0 & x2=0

However, what I am looking for is a weak instrument robust individual
parameter test, i.e.:

H0: x1=0

Do you have any idea how to obtain such a test statistic?
Thanks,
Matthias
