| Subject | st: XTIVREG2: Are my instruments proper? |
| Date | Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:23:01 -0700 (MST) |
Dear Statalist,
Happy Holidays!
I have two sets of results below. In the first fe regression, the main
endogenous variable "wlggluwmktsh" is a significant predictor and the
instruments are acceptable based on the 3 tests reported by xtivreg2.
In the second regression, I add year dummies. Now, the endogenous variable
is NOT significant and the 3 tests for valid/strong instruments are still
met.
I'm not clear why the regressor becomes insignificant in the second
regression. Isn't it the purpose of the first IV regression to account for
omitted variable issues?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Best wishes,
Ayesha
