After running this model, i type estat overid and i obtain this result. All of these options create an output table called sargan which will contain the results of a sarganhansen test. Using instrumental variable iv tests to evaluate model. The test rejects the null hypothesis that both \mothereduc\ and \fathereduc\ coefficients are zero, indicating that at least one instrument is strong.
