For the improved estimation of coefficients in a structural equation, Zellner and Vandaele (1975) considered Stein-type estimators under a general quadratic loss function and obtained the minimum risk estimator applying two stage least squares method. The resulting estimator involved certain unknown quantities and hence unavailable in applications. An operational version of it was however offered by them. Srivastava, Tiwari and Pandey (1978) considered a slightly general form of the estimator and studied its properties when disturbances are small. They, however, could not obtain conditions for superiority of the proposed estimator over other conventional estima tors. This paper presents a class of Stein-type estimators, and analyzes its properties employing the small-disturbance approximations. Conditions for dominance over two stage least squares estimator under a specific loss function are obtained.
