estat overid reports Hansen*s J statistic& which is %sed to determine the validit of the overidentifing restrictions in a +,, model .f the model is correctl speci/ed in the sense that $0(1i*%1i2!34 5 6& then the sample analog to that condition sho%ld hold at the estimated val%e of ! Hansen*s J statistic is valid onl if the weight matri7 is optimal& meaning that it e8%als the inverse of the covariance matri7 of the moment conditions Therefore& estat overid onl reports Hansen*s J statistic after two-step or iterated estimation& or if o% speci/ed winitial2matname3 when calling gmm .n the latter case& it is o%r responsi!ilit to determine the validit of the J statistic
e8%ation29e8noe8name3 speci/es the e8%ation for which resid%als are desired Specifing e8%ation29<3 indicates that the calc%lation is to !e made for the /rst moment e8%ation Specifing e8%ation2demand3 wo%ld indicate that the calc%lation is to !e made for the moment e8%ation named demand& ass%ming there is an e8%ation named demand in the model
.f o% specif one new varia!le name and omit e8%ation23& res%lts are the same as if o% had speci/ed e8%ation29<3
