  • xtoverid, overidentification statistic not reported

    Dear Stata communities,

    I am using the state command xtoverid to test the validity of my instrument. The regression commend is:
    xtivreg y (x=z1 z2) x1,re vce(cluster firm)

    The estimation is fine and the summary of the output is shown below:

    See the attached pictures.

    However, when I try to ran xtoverid, it gives a warning message, and the test statistics is missing as shown below:

    xtoverid, robust

    Warning: estimated covariance matrix of moment conditions not of full rank.
    overidentification statistic not reported, and standard errors and
    model tests should be interpreted with caution.
    Possible causes: number of clusters insufficient to calculate robust covariance matrix
    singleton dummy variable (dummy with one 1 and N-1 0s or vice versa)
    partial option may address problem.

    Test of overidentifying restrictions:
    Cross-section time-series model: xtivreg g2sls robust cluster(firm)
    Sargan-Hansen statistic . Chi-sq(.) P-value = .



    I also tried xtoverid, cluster(firm) and xtoverid. The same warning message is shown and the test statistics is missing.

    Do anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you very much!!!

      Liang:
      singleton dummy variable(s) might be the issue.
      That said, I would consider a more parsimonios model.
      As per FAQ, please do not post screenshots, because they are hard to read and impossible to elaborate on. Thanks.
      Kind regards,
