Dear Stata users
Could anyone please help me on the interpretation of the one-step results
as shown in the following example:
1) how to report the coefficients and Z-values of the independent
variables? I mean, instead of reporting as Wit and Wi(t-1) separately,
how to get the coefficient and Z-value for W itself? And how to tell the
significance level for W, if (P>|z|) for D1 is 0.000 (significant at 1%
level) while (P>|z|) for LD is 0.100 (significant at 10% level)?
2) For Sargan test of over-identifying restrictions, is the
(prob>chi2) the probability of accepting the null hypotheses of valid
instruments? In this example, it seems to show the strong evidence
against the null. Does it mean the specification is not valid at all?
3) For AR(1) and AR(2) at the bottom of the output, is the (pr>z)
the probability of accepting the null hypotheses of no first-order and
second-order serial correlation? If the residuals are not serially
correlated, should there be evidence of significant negative first-order
serial correlation (i.e., pr>z close to 0) and not rejecting the null of
no second-order serial correlation (i.e., pr>z close to 1) ?

Sargan test of over-identifying restrictions:
chi2(25) = 97.07 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Arellano-Bond test that average autocovariance in residuals of order 1 is
0:
H0: no autocorrelation z = -3.02 Pr > z = 0.0026
Arellano-Bond test that average autocovariance in residuals of order 2 is
0:
H0: no autocorrelation z = -0.01 Pr > z = 0.9892
Thank you very much for your help!
