Rodrigo,

The point I was trying to make is that the fixed effects estimator (e.g. xtivreg, fe) is biased in the presence of a LDV, and so Arellano-Bond should be used in that context. There is nothing to prevent you from using Arellano-Bond in an equation without a LDV, but given the complexity of the A-B methodology (and possibility to generate hundreds of instruments) I would not recommend using it routinely on a static panel data model. In that context it is certainly appropriate to use IV-GMM, as is provided by xtivreg2, fe with the gmm2s option. That is also a GMM estimator which will be more efficient than standard IV.

Best wishes
Kit

I am not agree with this statement. Equation (13) in the classic paper
Blundell, Bond, Devereux, and Schiantarelli (1992) "Investment and
Tobin's Q: Evidence from company panel data" Journal of Econometrics 51
(1992) 233-257 does not have a lagged dependent variable, but it is also
estimated by GMM.

Rodrigo.
