I'm applying the control function (CF) approach in a nonlinear model using a panel dataset of five waves (wave 1 - 5). I have run a fixed effect and random effect, the Hausman test revealed that the fixed effect is accepted.
Then, I want to do a robust check of my result - I decided to run 2SLS, but my regressor is not statistically significant in the second stage. I attempted the control function approach, which is the alternative to 2SLS. First, it was statistically significant, but when I run it again it is not statistically significant.
Can someone help check if I have missed any step, and what method can I use to do a robustness check of fixed effect? I have tried GMM, but it was not making sense.
Kindly note: both the dependent variable and regressor are continuous, even IV (diffage - the difference between the age of male and female in the household).

Thanks for your help.
