Tests of overidentifying restrictions after xtreg, xtivreg, xtivreg2 and xthtaylor

        xtoverid [, robust cluster(varlist) ]

xtoverid does not support IV estimation with weights.

Description

xtoverid computes versions of a test of overidentifying restrictions (orthogonality conditions) for a panel data
estimation.  For an instrumental variables estimation, this is a test of the null hypothesis that the excluded
instruments are valid instruments, i.e., uncorrelated with the error term and correctly excluded from the estimated
equation.  The test statistic is distributed as chi-squared with degrees of freedom = L-K, where L is the number of
excluded instruments and K is the number of regressors, and a rejection casts doubt on the validity of the instruments.
A test of fixed vs. random effects is also a test of overidentifying restrictions, and xtoverid will report this test
after a standard panel data estimation with xtreg,re.

If the original estimation reported classical (non-robust) standard errors, xtoverid will report Sargan's statistic.
The version of this test that is robust to heteroskedasticity in the errors is Hansen's J statistic, which is what
xtoverid reports if the original estimation was robust or if xtoverid is called with the robust option.  Similarly,
xtoverid will report an overidentification statistic that is robust to arbitrary heteroskedasticity and within-group
correlation if the cluster option was used by the original estimation or by the call to xtoverid.  Under the assumption
of conditional homoskedasticity, Sargan's statistic becomes Hansen's J (see Hayashi (2000), p. 227-28), and hence the
two statistics are sometimes referred to as the Sargan-Hansen or Hansen-Sargan statistic.  The tests are implemented in
xtoverid by calls to the ivreg2 of Baum-Schaffer-Stillman.  For further discussion and details of how the test is
implemented, see help ivreg2 and Baum et al. (2003, 2006).

A test of fixed vs. random effects can also be seen as a test of overidentifying restrictions.  The fixed effects
estimator uses the orthogonality conditions that the regressors are uncorrelated with the idiosyncratic error e_it,
i.e., E(X_it*e_it)=0.  The random effects estimator uses the additional orthogonality conditions that the regressors are
uncorrelated with the group-specific error u_i (the "random effect"), i.e., E(X_it*u_i)=0.  These additional
orthogonality conditions are overidentifying restrictions.  The test is implemented by xtoverid using the artificial
regression approach described by Arellano (1993) and Wooldridge (2002, pp. 290-91), in which a random effects equation
is reestimated augmented with additional variables consisting of the original regressors transformed into
deviations-from-mean form.  The test statistic is a Wald test of the significance of these additional regressors.  A
large-sample chi-squared test statistic is reported with no degrees-of-freedom corrections.  Under conditional
homoskedasticity, this test statistic is asymptotically equivalent to the usual Hausman fixed-vs-random effects test;
with a balanced panel, the artificial regression and Hausman test statistics are numerically equal.  See Arellano (1993)
for an exact statement and the example below for a demonstration.  Unlike the Hausman version, the test reported by
xtoverid extends straightforwardly to heteroskedastic- and cluster-robust versions, and is guaranteed always to generate
a nonnegative test statistic.

The remainder of this help file discusses how the variables are transformed
prior to IV estimation and special issues that arise.

The official Stata routines xtivreg and xthtaylor work by transforming the variables in the regression, constructing the
instruments, and then estimating a standard single equation IV estimation on the transformed variables; xtoverid works
the same way, and includes an internal check that the IV estimation matches the original estimation for which the
overidentification statistic is being requested.

For fixed-effects IV estimation (xtivreg,fe or xtivreg2,fe), the "within transformation" is first applied to the data,
i.e., all variables have group means subtracted, and then an IV estimation is performed on the demeaned data.  The
between IV estimator (xtivreg,be) is an IV estimation on group means, the first differences IV estimator (xtivreg,fd or
xtivreg2,fd) is an IV estimation on first differences and the default G2SLS random-effects estimator (xtivreg,re) is an
IV estimation on variables subjected to the GLS transform.  In all these estimators, the excluded instruments are
subject to the same transformations as the regressors and dependent variable.  Note that the overidentification
statistic reported after a fixed effects estimation with either classical or robust standard errors will incorporate a
degrees-of-freedom adjustment deriving from the degrees of freedom lost to the number of fixed effects.  No adjustment
is made (or is required) for a cluster-robust overidentification statistic.  See xtivreg2 for further discussion and
details.

The GLS IV estimators xtivreg,ec2sls and xthtaylor are slightly different:  the dependent variables and regressors are
subjected to the GLS transform, but the instrument sets are combinations of demeaned and group mean (or time-invariant)
variables.  The degrees of freedom of the overidentification statistic for the standard Hausman-Taylor estimator is
K1-G2, where K1 is the number of exogenous time-varying variables and G2 is the number of endogenous time-invariant
variables.  In the Amemiya-MaCurdy version of the estimator (available via xthtaylor,amacurdy), the degrees of freedom
will be T*K1-G2, where T is the length of the panel in the time dimension.  For further discussion, see the Stata manual
entries for these estimators or Baltagi (2005).

Note that following estimation by xtivreg,ec2sls, the number of degrees of freedom of the overidentification statistic
is not what is expected based on a simple count of instruments and endogenous variables when the equation includes an
exogenous regressor.  The reason is that in EC2SLS estimation as implemented in xtivreg,ec2sls, the regressor is subject
to the GLS transform and then, in the IV estimation on the transformed data, is treated as an endogenous regressor with
both its demeaned and recentered transformation and its group mean transformation as two excluded instruments.  When
estimating using xtivreg,ec2sls on an unbalanced panel, therefore, including exogenous regressors increases the number
of degrees of freedom of the overidentification statistic.  The intuition is that exogenous regressors in EC2SLS
estimation are overidentified for the same reason that exogenous regressors in a standard random effects estimation are
overidentified (see above).  See the examples below.


Options

robust requests a heteroskedastic-robust overidentification statistic.

cluster(varlist) requests an overidentification statistic that is robust to arbitrary heteroskedasticity and
    within-group correlation, where the group is defined by varlist.  If ivreg2 version 3.0 or later is installed, 2-way
    clustering is supported; see help ivreg2 for details.

命令怎么写是要看帮助的

get it . 3q so much.

可能是你的xtoverid文件安装路径出现了错误  我以前就遇到过 后来乱整了几下 不知怎么就好了  希望对你有所帮助

目前练习出现xtoverid系统报错问题

楼主，xtoverid只需要直接写就行，不需要estat xtoverid，另外一个与之类似同功能的但是是针对非面板数据的检验命令为“estat overid”。
