For richer instrument specification, many researchers prefer the user‑written xtabond2 (by David Roodman), which offers more flexibility.
Run xtdes to analyze the patterns of missing data and determine if your panel is balanced or unbalanced. You should use to confidently correct all three
If the variables show high persistence, lagged levels make weak instruments for first differences. System GMM improves efficiency by estimating a system of two equations: one in differences (instrumented by lagged levels) and one in levels (instrumented by lagged differences).
