I am currently using a non-linear model where one variable, X, is endogenous represented by (1)
Y= f(X, P, Q, R, S)----(1)
where P, Q, R and S are other covariates determining Y in (1)
So I wish to use an instrument Z, which will account for endogeneity between X and Y.
I have made a linear relationship between X and Z, as given below:
X= a+ b*Z + c* P + d*Q + e -----(2)
Here, I didn't account for R and S in equation (2) because they are not related to X.
My queries are as follows:
i. If I don't include R and S in (2), will that create any problem related to identification in the model above (equations 1 & 2 together)?
ii. Please also suggest a method of calculating over-identification manually in the model above.
