This is the data set for conducting a Hausman test in a static AIDS model, as detailed in Wan et al. (2010). The test focuses on whether the expenditure variable in a AIDS model is exogenous or not. Each of the seven expenditure data can be used as an instrumental variable in an auxiliary regression.
