Ringkasan	The Fourier Hausman test extends the classical Hausman endogeneity test by augmenting the regression with Fourier trigonometric terms — sines and cosines of time — so that the test remains valid even when the data-generating process contains smooth structural breaks or gradual nonlinearities that conventional linear specifications miss.	Instrumental variables (IV) is an econometric method to estimate causal effects when treatment or exposure is not randomly assigned and confounding is severe or unmeasured. IV relies on a third variable (instrument) that influences treatment but does not directly affect the outcome, allowing researchers to isolate the causal effect from the noise of confounding. Developed extensively in econometrics (Angrist & Pischke, 1990s–2000s), IV methods are increasingly used in health economics and health services research to leverage natural experiments and policy changes.
