A small refinement here: use -summarize, meanonly- in each instance
here. 
In this example the saving will be trivial, but it's a good habit to get
into.

I think that you could report within R2 from the LDV+FE model. 
It seems to me that you panel is large in T, is it unbalanced? 

Bruno (2005) -the author of -xtlsdvc- reports simulations on 
the effect of unbalancedness. You need the arithmetic (A), and 
harmonic (H) averages. You could check his results on the paper
and use the following code to compute the statistics using
your data. 

qui {
	* Arellano-Bond dataset
	webuse abdata
	sum year
	gen time = year - r(min) + 1
	* Getting the max time for firm
	bysort id: egen tmax=max(time)
	* Leaving only the result in last period
	replace tmax=. if time!=tmax
	gen double inv_tmax = 1/tmax
	sum tmax
	local A = r(mean)
	sum inv_tmax
	local H = 1/r(mean)
	local R = `A'/`H'
}
di in ye "Arithmetic =" `A' ", Harmonic=" `H' ", H/A=" `R'

-----Original Message-----
Rodrigo,

The coefficients in the LSD+FE are very close to the ones from
-xtlsdvc-, a little different but very close. I have around 11,000
observations, so it takes close to 2 hours to run one model in xtlsdvc,
but I can get a good quick sense of what the results will be with just
and the LSD+FE.
