If your T is small, you should be aware that using lagged dependent
variables in a fixed-effects model generates biased parameter
estimates. See Judson and Owen (1999) for more on this.
If you insist in using LDVs in this situation, then you may have to go
the IV route, after which things can get quite messy.
