Subject   st: The explanation of Sargan statistic and Endogeneity test

Dear all:

I ran the comment ivreg2, and got the following results:


Sargan statistic (overidentification test of all instruments): 8.553 Chi-sq(3) P-val = 0.0359
-endog- option:
Endogeneity test of endogenous regressors: 1.992 Chi-sq(2) P-val = 0.3693
Regressors tested:    lagfam lagins

I have two questions:

1. How can I explain the above results?


2. Does it mean that there is no endogeneity problem and I can use the comments of xtreg or reg instead, or I have to make sure the p-value of Sargan statistic is not significant first to make further conclusion? If you have any suggestions, please let me know.



Thanks,



George
