Kit,
 
Thank you very much! I have one follow-up question on choosing between xtabond (or xtabond2) and xtivreg2 with cluster-robust SEs plus gmm2s. Under what circumstance would it make sense for me to include lagged dependent variables in the model (and thus considering xtabond)? In my case I am looking at factors affecting insurance premiums across countries (premium is my dependent variable). While I am not interested in how last year's premiums affect current premiums, it is possible that current year's premiums are associated with prior year's premiums, and thus I would like to control for that effect. Would xtivreg2 with cluster-robust SEs be sufficient? Thank you!
 
Yuluen

The Arellano-Bond / Arellano-Bover / Blundell-Bond methodology 
(xtabond, xtabond2) is appropriate if you have lagged dependent 
variables, and unnecessary otherwise.

If you have a panel with endogenous regressors, use xtivreg2 with 
cluster-robust SEs, preferably with the gmm2s option.

See Baum-Schaffer-Stillman, Stata Journal 7:4 2007, for details.
