Andre,
- Your "no observations" error can have many causes unrelated to
estimation (such as including a string variable in your model).
- The abond.dta contains dummies generated perhaps by something as
"tab year, gen()". However, in your own dataset, abond probably works
fine with a prefix such as "xi: abond y x .... i.year, ....."
- I don't think you want to include the year variable AND the dummies
- To use dynamic panel estimators wisely, read Roodman's paper
available at http://www.cgdev.org/content/publications/detail/14256.and
his other paper cited therein.
