My name is Gabriela Lopez. I want to calculate total factor
productivity but in the papers I have read the authors first use the
General Method of Moments. They run an xtabond model and take the
coefficient of the lagged dependent variable and the capital per worker
to calculate total factor productivity as a residual. Can anyone tell
me how to do it exactly or recommend a paper or papers I can read to
understand it.
I have run several xtabond regressions to obtain the coefficients
mentioned above. Then I calculate the total factor productivity (but I
am not sure I am doing it correctly) to run OLS regressions using
variables of trade liberalization but I can't get good results. What
is my problem?
The Sargan test and the statistics of first and second order
correlations are described in the xtabond regression in Stata, which
other test do I have to consider?
I hope anyone can help me, it is really urgent!!!!1

I have been wondering if there might be a way to only show
command
results and text explicitly displayed in the log file (or in the
Results window in certain cases), rather than all the commands as well.
Conceptually (I think), a -log- file with the contents of -cmdlog-
stripped out. I haven't been able to track down any ado files that
might achieve that goal....

... but this clever trick seems to accomplish more or less what
I had
in mind. I never would have thought of it myself. Thanks!
