Ciao Elena
I'm not an expert in this field and perhaps others in the
list might want to contribute.
Your problem seems not easy, combining two difficult
estimation issues in nonlinear models:
1) individuals effects
2) endogenous right-hand variables
Perhaps, before endeavouring estimation you might want to
test endogeneity, which is easier. A good reference for
estimation and testing in your case is Chapter 15 (especially
sections 15.7.2 and 15.8.2) of Wooldridge (2002).

Section and Panel Data. The MIT Press.
