Hi Laura,
I was trying to do something very similar a little while ago, and I got the same error as you did. I don't think I ever figured out why the -bootstrap- command didn't work for me, possibly the size of my dataset, or perhaps because it was an unbalanced panel, or maybe it just doesn't like -xtabond-, I'm not sure.
I ended up programming the bootstrap procedure manually, I think. As I recall though, I only wanted to use -bootstrap- for comparison purposes - is there a specific reason you require it?
