** High Priority **

Hallo,

I have performed the xtabond procedure in stata.10 and I have obtained the following results.

Arellano-Bond dynamic panel-data estimation  Number of obs         =     15546
Group variable: codice_i                     Number of groups      =      2591

                                                               max =         6

Sargan test of overidentifying restrictions
        H0: overidentifying restrictions are valid

Arellano-Bond test for zero autocorrelation in first-differenced errors

Should I conclude that the Sargan test clearly does not reject the hypothesis that the sets of additional instruments used in the GMM specification are invalid?
Is there someone who could help me in the correct interpretation and,if my interpretation is correct, in finding a better specification of the model?
thank you
