  • Ivreg2h Output Interpretation

    Hi all, I am getting the appropriate output for the following code.


    Code:
    ivreg2h selfempl (cognability=) financelit age agesq selfafl riskcareer gradgdr gender lnnetinc nrchildren homeowner married [pw= weights_2009_hhsize_inc_all]
    
    Too few excluded instruments: standard IV model not estimable
    
    IV with Generated Instruments only
     
    Instruments created from Z:
    financelit age agesq selfafl riskcareer gradgdr gender lnnetinc nrchildren homeowner married
    (sum of wgt is     9.0251e+02)

    Can someone tell me what the second table is and why there are no confidence intervals etc. given there? Where is the difference with the first table?

    Also, I am not getting a P value for the Cragg-Donald and Kleibergen-Paap. Without a P-value, can I assume that the instruments are bad because of the low F-statistic (<10)).

    does anyone have an idea what I can improve on the model?

    Many Thanks,
    Julia

    Hello, I do not know the answer but I wanted to bump this because I was going to ask the exact same question. Did you learn the answer? Also, if you scatterplot your treatment variable after doing this exercise, you will see that observations around the mean disappear from the scatter. I appreciate if anyone has an answer.
