Question: Consider the structural equation Y1 Z0 11 Y 0 22 e with E[Ze] 0 where Y2 is k2 1 and treated as endogenous.
Consider the structural equation Y1 Æ Z0 1¯1 ÅY 0 2¯2 Åe with E[Ze] Æ 0 where Y2 is k2 £1 and treated as endogenous. The variables Z Æ (Z1,Z2) are treated as exogenous where Z2 is `2 £1 and
`2 ¸ k2. You are interested in testing the hypothesis H0 : ¯2 Æ 0.
Consider the reduced formequation for Y1 Y1 Æ Z0 1¸1 ÅZ0 2¸2 Åu1. (12.95)
Show how to test H0 using only the OLS estimates of (12.95).
Hint: This will require an analysis of the reduced form equations and their relation to the structural equation.
