st: control for spurious correlation / multicollinearity

Dear Statalisters,
For my thesis i’m using a panel-dataset.
I’d like estimate the effect of x1 ond y with -xtreg-. Since x2 is highly correlated with y and x1 the measured effect by excluding x2 would be spurious correlation. I tried to correct multicollinearity by differencing. But afterwards the linearity is not given anymore.
Is there any possibility to estimate the model by extracting the effect of x2?
Regards,
Luiz
