Dear all,
I have the results from xtabond2 as follows:
My interest coefficient is AfterFD. And it is significant at 10%. Also, the AR(2) is not significant and Hansen test of overid restrictions is not significant. it means my regression work through, isn't it?
In addition, could you please give me interpretation of Difference-in-Hansen test of exogeneity? As far as I understand, it should be insignificant. However, from the table, GMM instruments for levels - Hansen text excluding group: chi2(1) =3.88 Pro>chi2=0.049. Does it matter?
Thank you very much in advance.
