Dear Martin,
thank you for your kind replay.
It seems that the only option available is to use -ivreg2,gmm2s-. The problem
with this is that I am not sure -ivreg2,gmm2s- calculates GMM-style instruments
(i.e. substitute zeros for missing observations) as instead done by xtabond2.
Also, I am not sure it adjusts the results for the Windmeijer' correction.
Best,
Giorgia
