you may choose, depending on your data, between using a fixed effect  
model, ...


A fixed effects model is an OLS regression with a dummy variable for  
each unit in the panel. It does not deal with endogeneity in any  
form. If the regression on one unit in the panel is plagued with  
endogeneity, the fixed effects model will be as well. FE models deal  
with unobserved heterogeneity, not endogeneity.
