I'm currently trying to implement a GMM estimation in an asset pricing
context where I want to determine the risk premium of a factor (i.e.
the market factor).
Usually I would estimate this with a Fama-MacBeth procedure (i.e. a
two step procedure where I run time-series regressions to get the beta
coefficients and then
run cross-sectional regressions each month to get the risk premium of
that beta-coefficient). Furthermore, I'm using a panel of individual
stocks which is why Errors-in-Variables
is a big issue here.
Now, I read that GMM is:

1.) a way to reduce the Errors-in-Variables problem (the alternative
with the Instrumental-Variables solution is clear to me and I already
have implemented it)
2.) able to this two-step approach at the same time.

So my key question is how to implement this time-series and
cross-sectional approach for GMM in Stata?
Sor far the only thing I came up with is:

. gmm (return - ({xb:beta}+{b0})), instruments(beta)

but here I already had to estimate my beta in a time-series regression
and didn't estimate it at the same time in the GMM framework and even
then I think it's not correctly specified although it works.
Does anyone know how to do this GMM-estimation in an asset pricing context?
Any help would be highly appreciated and would save my weekend.

P.S. regarding the data: I have a panel of monthly individual stock
returns over 20 years as dependent variable and I have the market
factor (e.g. the return of the S&P500) as independent variable.

Best wishes,
Adrian
