Dear All,
I am learning -xtabond- at the moment using David Drukker's last
year talk and the [R] Stata manual. I hope you can help me with
these questions:
1. I can't replicate the output of the Arellano & Bond 1991 Table 4.c.
( David and [R] reported the results in columns a1 and a2)
Where did I go wrong in specifying the model below as it gives
different estimates to A&B Table 4.c?
---
set matsize 1000
set mem 20m
use http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/nasug2001/abdata.dta
tsset id year
forvalues yr = 1(1)9 {
local yr2 = 1975+`yr'
rename yr`yr' yr`yr2'
}
gen ln=l.n
gen l2n=l2.n
gen lw=l.w
gen lk=l.k
gen l2k=l2.k
gen lys=l.ys
gen l2ys=l2.ys
xtdes
xtabond n l(0/1).ys yr1980-yr1984, lags(2) twostep /*
*/ pre(w, lag(1,.)) pre(k)

Also, how do I get the estimates on Table 4.d?
2. A&B 1991 p.291 give the estimates of the long run
elasticity of wage and capital. My understanding is these
estimates are derived according to Wickens & Breusch
1988. My question is how to derive the standard errors? Or
is there an option to include to get these estimates and
their standard errors.

Thank you all very much for your help.
