A simple OLS estimation provide expected marginal ceteris paribus effects, i.e. expected partial derivatives of the dependent variable wrt a regressor. You don't need the regressors to be mutually independent, just that regressors are independent from your error term (you may need something even weaker, E(xu)=0). I think any basic econometrics textbook can offer a discussion about this point.
However, without further information it is difficult to be sure that your theoretical statements actually fit your data.

Asunto: st: should I concern the endogeneity problem

Hi,

I am estimating a model:

Y = X1 + X2 + X1*X2

I am confident that X1 and X2 are exogenous to Y, however it is likely
that X1 is influenced by X2. In this case, should I worry about any
endogeneity?

Thanks for your insights!

Gordon
