Cordula,
You can create the lagged values. After tsset:
gen lagvar = l.var
gen dlagvar = l2.var
And then include them as regressors in xtreg.
xtreg depvar lagvar dlagvar ...
To know more about <xtserial>, read (as cited in the help file for
<xtserial>):
Drukker, D. M. 2003. Testing for serial correlation in linear panel-data
models. Stata Journal (3)2: 168-177.
As you pointed out, there are several ways of correcting for autocorrelation
and <xtabond> is one of them.
