    ## data and transformations
    data("CigarettesSW")
    CigarettesSW$rprice <- with(CigarettesSW, price/cpi)
    CigarettesSW$rincome <- with(CigarettesSW, income/population/cpi)
    CigarettesSW$tdiff <- with(CigarettesSW, (taxs - tax)/cpi)

    ## convenience function: HC1 covariances
    hc1 <- function(x) vcovHC(x, type = "HC1")

    ## Equations 12.9--12.11
    fm_s1 <- lm(log(rprice) ~ tdiff, data = c1995)
    coeftest(fm_s1, vcov = hc1)
    fm_s2 <- lm(log(packs) ~ fitted(fm_s1), data = c1995)
    fm_ivreg <- ivreg(log(packs) ~ log(rprice) | tdiff, data = c1995)
    coeftest(fm_ivreg, vcov = hc1)

    ## Equation 12.15
    fm_ivreg2 <- ivreg(log(packs) ~ log(rprice) + log(rincome) | log(rincome) + tdiff, data = c1995)
    coeftest(fm_ivreg2, vcov = hc1)
    ## Equation 12.16
    fm_ivreg3 <- ivreg(log(packs) ~ log(rprice) + log(rincome) | log(rincome) + tdiff + I(tax/cpi),
      data = c1995)
    coeftest(fm_ivreg3, vcov = hc1)
