Hausman Test for Endogeniety
A statistical test to check for correlation between a suspected endogenous explanatory variable and the error term. The test works by comparing the estimates obtained from ordinary least squares (OLS) and two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression equations. The test requires at least one variable that is causally related to the suspected endogenous explanatory variable, but otherwise unrelated to the dependent variable.
