trying to run an IV estimation with xtivreg2 . . . the generic syntax guidance is baffling. i haven't figured out whether to enclose my RH variables in parents, brackets, or ? then, how do i specify my instruments list? a real simple example using, say, y and x1, x2, x3, and x4 as the instrument would be of great help to me. panel data and want to run a FE model. kind thanks, larry
