Re: st: Using ivregress when the endogenous variable is used in an interaction term in the main regression

[Nick Kohn <coffeemug.nick@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the reply.

My simplified model is (X2 is endogenous):
Y = b*X1*X2 + controls

In regards to the third option you suggest, would I do the following?

 1) First stage regression to get X2hat using the instrument Z
 2) Run the first stage again but use X1*X2hat as the instrument for
X1*X2 (so Z is no longer used)
 3) Run the second stage using (X1*X2)hat (so the whole product is
fitted from step 2))
