  • IV test statistic (weak identification and underidentification tests) with boottest

    Dear all,

    Anybody familiar with how to generate IV test statistic (weak identification and underidentification tests: Kleibergen-Paap) with cluster-robust errors, and particularly with bootstrapped errors (boottest) ? David Roodman
    I'm running the IV panel regression below. I obtain the regression coefficients using 'ivreghdfe' and obtain Wild-bootstrapped t-statistics and confidence intervals using 'boottest'.
    I noticed that the IV test statistics may differ substantially, based on the specification of the error clustering (see the output below).
    Based on this difference, I wonder how the IV test statistics can be obtained based on Wild-bootstrapped errors (WRE) from 'boottest'.

    Code:
    global i firm_id
    global t i.year
    * Results using CRVE clustering by country // there are 32 countries
    ivreghdfe $deparvar $indepvars_exog $t ($indepvar_endog = $indepvar_instrument), absorb($i) cluster(country)
    
    *** Output:
    * Underid. test statistic (Kleibergen-Paap): 8.6621*** (p-value 0.0086)
    * Weak id. test statistic (Kleibergen-Paap): 69.7332***
    
    * Results using CRVE clustering by country and sector // there are 32 countries and 15 sectors
    ivreghdfe $deparvar $indepvars_exog $t ($indepvar_endog $indepvar_endog_lag1 $indepvar_endog_lag2 = $indepvar_instrument $indepvar_instrument_lag1 $indepvar_instrument_lag2), absorb($i) cluster(country sector)
    
    *** Output:
    * Underid. test statistic (Kleibergen-Paap): 3.1035* (p-value 0.0781)
    * Weak id. test statistic (Kleibergen-Paap): 106.7399***
    
    * Results using Wild bootstrap errors (WRE), clustering country and sector // this is my baseline specification for computing the errors and t-statistics
    boottest $indepvar_endog = 0, cluster(country sector) bootcluster(sector) nograph seed(999) reps(999)
    Many thanks,
    Arjan
