Nick,
The coefficients are 0.20 in OLS and 2.00 in 2SLS. To answer your
question, "significantly smaller" in this context means the referee
thinks that this is different enough to be troubling.
Also, to answer a related question from Kit Baum we did a Hausman test
on Y2 and rejected the exogeneity of Y2. So it seems that 2SLS would
be appropriate. We have not done a Sargan or Hansen test. Will look
into that and post the outcome.
Thanks to both of you for your interest.
