Hi Allin,
           A per your response on tsls, are there tests to determine panel "data poolability" in Grelt?.

You can use plain tsls with panel data only if the data are poolable,
that is, there are no significant differences in the conditional means
across the groups.

If that condition is not satisfied, you can use the ivpanel() function.
To get help on the script version, open gretl's function package
listing (the "fx" button or under the File menu), right click on the
ivpanel line, and select Info. Or in the console, do

include ivpanel.gfn
help ivpanel

The "dpanel" command is another alternative, but that is for
dynamic models.
