Re: st: regarding negative lag coefficient in xtabond regressions

[Markus Eberhardt <markus.eberhardt@economics.ox.ac.uk>]

Narasimhan,

Bond (2002) Journal of Portuguese Economics or
cemmap working paper  CWP09/02
http://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/2661

Add to that Blundell and Bond (2000) Econometric Reviews or
IFS working aper W99/04
http://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/2722

That should do the trick.
