Re: st: xtabond2- number of observations per group

This is econometric hieroglyphics to me, but at a wild guess, if you
are using lag 2, then no lagged values are available for the first and
second observations in a panel. That would account for the minimum of
1. I don't know about the 8. There is likely to be some
misunderstanding there.
