Dear Statalist,

I am a new user of Stata and I do not Know enough to solve those Two
"Warnings" I have got  running xtabond2. 

The first one I do not understand because I use 49 instruments but I have
got 510 observations.

About the second warning anyone can help me indicating which command should
I use to produce and use the generalized inverse to calculate optimal
weighting matrix for two-step estimation and how to proceed?

I would be so grateful!

Here are the results I have got:

xi: xtabond2 logGVApc l.logGVApc logPubInvpc logProductiv
i.yearid,gmm(logGVApc,lag(2 2)) iv(i.yearid) robust twostep small/*2
lag*//*considering Public Investment as exogenous*/ i.yearid _Iyearid_1-18
(naturally coded; _Iyearid_1 omitted) Favoring speed over space. To switch,
type or click on mata: mata set matafavor space, perm.
_Iyearid_18 dropped due to collinearity

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 optimal weighting matrix for
two-step estimation.
Difference-in-Sargan/Hansen statistics may be negative.

Dynamic panel-data estimation, two-step system GMM Group variable: id Number
