  • interpretation of coefficients xtabond2

    Hello Dear Statalists,

    I am currently working on my thesis, I am using command xtabond2 by Roodman and I am having trouble in the interpretation of my coefficients because the dependent variable is the logarithm of the GDP. I hope you can help me. I am new to stata so I do not know how to put my results but I present you a table I made in excel. The one I am interest in explaining is fix, that is the penetration of fix telephones measured as number of suscriptions to fix telephones per 100 persons.
    I think the interpretation is: Holding everying else constant, a one percentage point increase in the ratio between the volume of debit and credit card transactions over real GDP yields a 01.3 percentage points increase in real GDP per capita growth but I am not sure.
    Variables 2002-2007
    Lag log Gdp 0.4151 (0.1765)**
    Internet 0.0184 (0.0152)
    Mobile 0.0015 (0.0017)
    fix 0.0133 (0.0055)**
    enrollment rate -0.0018 (0.0069)
    0.0016 (0.0004)***
    exports -0.0043 (0.0086)
    labour 0.0110 (0.0110)
    observations 96
    instruments 15
    states 16
    AR(1) 0.017
    AR(2) 0.039
    Hansen 0.085
    I really hope you can help me, best regards

    I post now a screenshot of one of my results, the coefficient I need to interpret in this case is "Internet" I hope this image is a little bit more clear than the copy and paste I posted. Sorry I am new to Stata.
    I repeat the dependant variable is the logarithm of the GDP and Internet is measured as suscribers per 100 habitants.
    Thank you in advance for you answer,
