Let y (subscript "a"), y (subscript "b") denote the endogenous variables in a conventional structural system. The paper presents a simple test of H (subscript "o") : y (subscript "a") is weakly exogenous with respect to y (subscript "b")'s structural equation system (SES [subscript "b"]). The test is a test of whether y (subscript "a")'s reduced form residuals have zero coefficients in an "expanded equation" system (EES [subscript "b"]), which is the conditional version of the SES (subscript "b"), conditional on y (subscript "a"). It is implemented empirically to test whether the Fed was successful in controlling the federal funds rate over the regime in question. The paper also presents a generalization of Hausman's "difference test," a comparative view of most available tests, and some exact relations among the structural estimators.
