In my regression, dependent(y) variable is inj_hour
independent (x) variable is dummy_recessions_worked
Instrument variable(z) is dummy_MBA



(1) Between 2SLS and GMM, how do I know which test is more fits in the regression using my sample?
I'm not sure whether I should GMM or 2SLS for my regression using instrument variable (z), which is dummy_mba

For this, should I check whether it is overidentified or not first? If so, how can I do it?Can I use these control variables in the GMM as well?




(2) Are the codes below right to test gmm with controls?

As in OLS, I used additional 3 groups of control variables of firm_controls, firm_level_controls, executive_controls .

global firm_controls " log_asset_ debt_asset_ market_to_book_ ppe_asset_ sale_asset_ capex_asset_ cash_asset_ cashflow_asset_ div_asset_ roa_"
global firm_level_controls " firm_hour_emp "
global executive_controls "AGE sex "
-------------------

ivreg2 firm_dafw_hour (dummy_co_recession_worked = dummy_mba) $firm_controls $firm_level_controls $executive_controls , endog(dummy_co_recession_worked)

OR

ivreg2 firm_inj_hour $firm_controls $firm_level_controls $executive_controls (dummy_co_recession_worked = dummy_mba), gmm2s



--------------------
(3) If I want to add fixed effects of Year and ID in GMM test, how should I change the code?



(4) How can I interpret the result from endogeneity test (endog(dummy_co_recession_worked))?




(5) How can I export the ivreg2 results to excel as a table using outreg2?



ivreg2 firm_inj_hour $firm_controls $firm_level_controls $executive_controls (dummy_co_recession_worked = dummy_mba), endog(dummy_co_recessi
> on_worked)
