Dear all,
I am running a dynamic panel regression -xtabond2 L L.y x1 x2 x3, gmm(L, lag(2 3) collapse) iv(x1 x2 x3) twostep robust-. Because instruments outnumber groups, I add the -collapse- option. However, after adding collapse, Stata does not report Sargan test and Hansen test (i.e. Hansen test of overid. restrictions: chi2(-3)=1.45 Prob > chi2 = .).
So what is the reason to this problem? After collapse, there are 30 instruments and 83 groups. Before collapse, 90 instruments and 83 groups.
Btw, can the number of instruments equal the number of groups? Roodman (2007) highlights that No. iv must be smaller than No. group. But in another note, Elitza Mileva said that No. iv should be equal to or smaller than No. groups.
Thank you very much.
