dear statalist users, 
I run the xtabond2 specifiyng nolevel on a growth regression. Here are the results,

 xtabond2 gdppc_gr l.(ln_gdp_pc educ socialexp) if year >= 1996 & eu15==1, gmm(l.(ln_gdp_pc educ socialexp)) iv(year19
> 96- year2007) nolevel robust
Favoring space over speed. To switch, type or click on mata: mata set matafavor speed, perm.
Warning: Number of instruments may be large relative to number of observations.
Warning: Two-step estimated covariance matrix of moments is singular.
  Using a generalized inverse to calculate robust weighting matrix for Hansen test.
  Difference-in-Sargan statistics may be negative.

Time variable : year                            Number of groups   =        15
Number of instruments = 164                     Obs per group: min =        10
Wald chi2(3)  =    107.15                                      avg =     10.93
Prob > chi2   =     0.000                                      max =        11

Sargan test of overid. restrictions: chi2(161)  = 296.49  Prob > chi2 =  0.000
  (Not robust, but not weakened by many instruments.)
Hansen test of overid. restrictions: chi2(161)  =  14.17  Prob > chi2 =  1.000
  (Robust, but can be weakened by many instruments.)

Difference-in-Hansen tests of exogeneity of instrument subsets:
  iv(year1996 year1997 year1998 year1999 year2000 year2001 year2002 year2003 year2004 year2005 year2006 year2007)
    Hansen test excluding group:     chi2(159)  =  14.17  Prob > chi2 =  1.000
    Difference (null H = exogenous): chi2(2)    =   0.00  Prob > chi2 =  1.000


What can I conclude from Abond test, Sargan and Hansen tests?I am a bit confused!!
thanks
Cristina
