Hello,
I am estimating my regression using system GMM.
xtabond2 y L.y x1 x2 x3 yr2004-yr2011 z, gmm(y, lag(2 .) ) iv(x3 yr2004-yr2011, eq(lev)) iv(x1 x2 z) two ar(4) ort nodiff noconst rob
I am concerning most below:
- instrument number to make sure not to exceed group number
- Hangen/Sargan test
- Arellano-Bond test for AR(2) in first differences
When inst.number>grp.number, I limit the lag and collapsing them; when Hansen/Sargan test is not valid, I try different gmmstyle, ivstyle compositions. thus I can fix them to report good results. BUT I just can not improve Arellano-Bond test for AR(2) in first differences. In the all the cases, they show autocorrelation in the residuals.
What should I do? Please give me advice. Thank you very much in advance.
