Hi,
I posted the following question last week but didn't
get any replies, I am trying again in case anyone can
help. Basically I am trying to do GMM analysis in
STATA and am trying to understand the difference
between
- xtabond/xtabond2;
- ivreg, gmm / xtivreg, gmm; and
- ivgmm0
Is there any guidance as to under what circumstances
one such method is better than the other? How (if at
all) could one get equivalent results with all 3
methods? I realise this might be a broad question but
even if someone could help with part of it I would
appreciate it a lot.
(I have already read the help files as well as the
paper by Baum Schaffer and Stillman, and Stephen
Bond's paper on Dynamic Panel Data Models; but am
still confused on this point.)
Thanks in advance,
Janine
