Hi Statalist Users,
I am puzzled by the fact that I get different results using exactly the same
command on two different machines: one has a 32-bit Windows 7 and the other
one has a 64-bit Windows 7.
The command is as follows:
xi: xtabond2 depvar l.depvar x1 x2 x3 i.Year, gmm(l.depvar, lag(1 1)) iv(x1
x2 x3 i.Year, eq(diff)) robust h(2) orthogonal nolevel twostep
It seems the difference in the results comes from the fact that Stata uses a
different number of observations on the two machines: 1281 obs (114 groups)
on the machine with 32-bit version and 1248 obs (113 groups) on the machine
with 64-bit version while the data I am using are exactly the same on both
machines.
I think the first thing I would do is make sure I have the same
version of xtabond2 on both machines. On mine I get
. which xtabond2
