Exogeneity failure exogeneity means that each x variable does not depend on the dependent variable y, rather y depends on the x s and on e since y depends on e, this means that the x s are assumed to be independent of y hence e it is a standard assumption we make in regression analysis required because if the independent. Under the null hypothesis, the models are appropriately specified with all explanatory variables as exogenous. To test for any kind of exogeneity, you would have to show that there is no variable in the world that is correlated both with your outcome and any included variable.
