Hi Mine,
I also had trouble using time dummy interactions with the xtabond command. In fact, I couldn't figure out a way whereby the program does not automatically include year dummies in the regression. Have you?
Have you tried using the Gauss DPD instead? It turned out easier than I expected. And it is very flexible in specifying instruments with the "right" lags. If you are interested I can send you a detailed algorithm and there are also good descriptions on the Arellano's website.

Hi,
I sent this e-mail a while ago and I got no reply. I am sort of hoping
that somebody who used this command joined the list in the meantime. sorry
for duplicates but I am sort of getting desperate!!
so any little help will be very appreciated.
