Edlira,
You can use xtabond or xtabond2.
The estimators implemented in these two commands are still valid when
x_(it-1) is used as a regressor, if that's what you're worried about. By
using x_(it-1) as well x_(it) you loose a good instrument for x_(it),
but that's only a concern if x_(it) is not exogenous, and it doesn't
make the estimator inconsistent anyway.
If you're worried about the xtabond estimator's consitency for N=33,
T=23, check out the paper by Alvarez and Arellano (2003), "The
time-series and cross-section asymptotics of dynamic panel data
estimators", Econometrica, July. Consistency of the GMM estimator
implemented in xtabond was initially established under the assumptions T
fixed, N->infinity, or "small T, large N", which doesn't seem to apply
to your sample. But Alvarez and Arellano have also shown this estimator
to be consistent for T/N->c with 0<c<=2.
Also, keep in mind that, as p increases in your model, you also loose
some periods and some instruments.
