Dear Statalist,
I have the following model: y = a +bX+cZ+d(X*Z) + fK + e. Both X and Z
are endogenous making X and Z also endogenous. K is exogenous. I am
fitting the model using IV methods. I instrument X and Z respectively
with X1 and Z1, and I use X1*Z1 to instrument X*Z.
I understand from a STATA thread
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-11/msg00795.html) that a
natural instrument for X*Z would also be the the product of the
predicted values of Xp and Zp from the first stage regressions (i.e.,
Xp*Zp).
Would the following also be plausible instruments for X*Z: X1*Xp,
Xp^2, (Xp*Zp)^2, etc..?
I hope to hear some comments on this issue.
Regards,
Erasmo
