Hi,

I can think of no reason a Hausman test could not be used for OLS---it is a
comparison of vectors of coefficients from different models usually assumed
to produce similar estimates under certain conditions.  Dissimilarity is
taken as indicative of a lack of some or all the conditions required for
the two models to yield similar parameters.
I suggest you look at the plm and systemfit packages.  They have many
functions for OLS, 2SLS, tests of endogeneity, etc.  The plm (and maybe
systemfit?) package also has a vignette which is a good thing to read.  It
has a lot of useful information on the code and examples of comparing
different types of models, that you may find instructive.

Hope this helps,

Josh
