Monica,
I see now what you mean. I am afraid though I don't do much prediction, so I am not knowledgeable on your question as to how to predict the random effects in an xtabond setting. I hope someone else on the list has some insights.
All the best,
Tewodaj

Tewodaj,
Thanks for the answer, you are right in the reference manual says the
estimation uses random effects. Regarding the prediction, however, when we
estimate using xtreg with random effects we are able to predict them, so I
wonder if there's a way I can recover the predicted ones in the context of
xtabond given that we are differencing?
Best,
M�nica L.
