RE: st: St: interpret the result of Hausman test

Nichols,

Given the fact that OLS estimates is not significant and the IV estimate is,
do you mean that the endogeneity test is not appropriate?

Thanks.

Best,
Quoc

John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>:
Not odd at all given the magnitudes of coefs.

Note that a purported test of endogeneity or exogeneity is a test that
IV and OLS coefs differ statistically, and relies crucially on the
usual IV assumptions; if your exclusion restriction is no good,
then neither is a test of endogeneity or exogeneity.
