I am encountered a problem regarding testing significance of estimated coefficients. I have estimated the following two equations independently using Eviews: Y1=a0 + a1*X1 + a2*Y2 + e Y2 = b0 + b1*X2 + b2*Z1 + I e and i are respective residuals. I hypothesize that Z1 affects Y2 and Y2 affects Y1. I am now interested to test significance of a2*b2=0. I have estimated these equations independently using GMM to tackle endogeniety and have not estimated them as a system. I need help to know how can I test its significance. It is of critical importance for my study. Kindly, guide me how can I proceed. Your valuable comments will be highly appreciated.
