  • Interpret Hansen J statistic and other tests following ivreg2 command in stata

    Dear all,

    Could you please help me to interpret some tests from ivreg2 command as follows:

    Code:
    Underidentification test (Kleibergen-Paap rk LM statistic):              5.555
                                                       Chi-sq(1) P-val =    0.0184
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Weak identification test (Cragg-Donald Wald F statistic):                6.019
                             (Kleibergen-Paap rk Wald F statistic):          5.656
    Stock-Yogo weak ID test critical values: 10% maximal IV size             16.38
                                             15% maximal IV size              8.96
                                             20% maximal IV size              6.66
                                             25% maximal IV size              5.53

    NB: Critical values are for Cragg-Donald F statistic and i.i.d. errors.


    Code:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hansen J statistic (overidentification test of all instruments):         0.000
                                                     (equation exactly identified)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Does it mean that my instrument is correlated with endogenous regressor but it is weak? And p-value of Hansen J statistic is 0.000 --> reject the null hypothesis that the validity of the overridentifying restriction is valid. However, I do not understand what it means? Could you please explain further?

    Thank you very much in advance.
