I assume you have a lagged dependent var in your model.
Since you are using an GMM-estimator, autocorrelation of order 1 is no
problem but the reason for using GMM in order to instrument the endogenuous
variable. You should look at the p-value of the autocorrelation test of
second order. You have problems if there is autocorrelation of second order.
Refer to the original arellano/bond paper (1991) that is cited in - help
xtabond2. By the way: Maybe xtabond2 suits your needs better than xtabond.
Or refer to Greene, Verbeek or Baltagi.

Betreff: st: xtabond - test for autocorrelation


Dear Stata users,

I'm working with a panel of N=2610 and T=7. I ran my specification with 
xtabond and, according to the results below, the tests for autocorrelation 
indicates that I can reject the hypotesis of no average autocovariance in 
residuals of order 1. I would like to know what should I do to deal with 
this problem. Or is this not a problem at alll?

Thanks
