re: st: "xtdpdsys" command and "collapse" option

[ma9545@bdvb.de]

Hi Kit,
Thank you for your answer.
I know the xtabond2 command, however, xtabond2 gives you huge
possibilities for estimation. My problem with xtabond2 is that you have a
lot of freedom to change the results by taking different options. I feel
like manipulating the results by using xtabond2. Therefore, I decided to
use the xtdpdsys command, which is quite simple and easy reproducible. So,
do I have an option "collapse" for  xtdpdsys?
Thank you in advance
