I need to test the equality of two coefficients in one equation. One
of the coefficients is, however,  insignificant. Is the Wald test valid?
Yes.  And, it is possible that the test would not reject the  
hypothesis of equality, even though the CI of the second coefficient  
alone  shows that it is non-zero.
