  • weakivtest after estimating ivreg2 with partial option

    I am getting different results from -weakivtest- when I run -ivreg2- with the partial option than when I run the same specification without the partial option although the regression output is exactly the same. I understand the correct effective F-stat is that outputted in the latter case as it is similar to the KP F-stat as expected in this setting of single instrument.

    I am trying to get this to work in this data example as I am running regressions using the partial option in my real data.

    Code:
    . sysuse auto, clear
    (1978 automobile data)
    
    . ivreg2 price (weight=length) i.turn, cluster(turn) small

                                                          Prob > F      =   1.0000

             overidentification statistic not reported, and standard errors and
             model tests should be interpreted with caution.
    Possible causes:

             singleton dummy variable (dummy with one 1 and N-1 0s or vice versa)

    Oh that's not good. Thanks for the warning.
    I also found that it doesn't handle pweights correctly. If you double all the weights, that has no effect on the estimates but it doubles the result from weakivtest. Use aweights instead.
