Hi,

Xtabond is for fixed effects estimation. Also, the command automatically
first differences the data. You can however specify the lags you want to
include as explanatory variables in your model.

Best,

I am trying to use the xtabond command but am puzzled whether the estimator
that Stata produces is designed for fixed or random effects? 

 

Also, I do not understand whether the xtabond command automatically first
differences all the variables in the model or whether I have to do that
separately before I use the command?

 

I would appreciate any help with that.
