  • xtivreg2: endogeneity and overidentification

    Hello everyone,
    I have an issue with interpret the result of xtivreg2:
    - Overidentification is significant
    - Endogeneity test is not significant

    Please see the attached picture.
    I don't know how I should interpret this result. The endogeneity test indicates that there is no endogeneity issue. This implies no need for the I.V. However, the overidentification test suggests the i.v. is a valid one?
    Thank you

    Your model is exactly identified - you have as many instruments as regressors. The overidentifying restrictions test is only applicable if your model (as the name suggests) is overidentified - you need more instruments as regressors for this test.

    Aside from this: Even if all regressors are exogenous, your instruments could still be either valid or invalid (i.e. uncorrelated or correlated with the error term).
