  • GMM or Fixed Effect Estimation

    Hi. I need help regarding employing FE or GMM in my regression.
    although I estimated the model through fixed effect but my mentor asked me to introduce the lag of dependent model as a regressor which changed the model nature from static to dynamic panel model. Now I am using two step difference GMM but the issue is that the Hansen test probability is always close to zero and I am directed that: for validity of the instruments it should be close to 1 or above 1. I estimated the model using different hit and tries by changing the lags, IVs and other options but it didn't change from zero. Now I am getting confused. should I go back for FE or continue with GMM. Note that al the regressors and the dependent variables are in difference form (returns).
    The FE regression command is as given
    Code:
    xtreg Rs Rf Rm rExr zmv rBrent vBrentttt, fe vce(cluster compid)
    Rs= stock returns, Rf= Risk free rate, Rm= Market return, rExr= Exchange rate returns, zmv= Size of company, rBrent= brent price returns, vBrenttt= Brent price volatility
    GMM command:
    Code:
    xtabond2 Rs l.Rs Rf Rm rExr zmv rBrent volBrent, twostep small iv(Rf Rm rBrent volBrent rExr d*) gmm(Rs Rm zmv,lag(2 6) collapse)nodiffsargan robust orthogonal
    Moreover if I introduce time dummies
    Code:
    d*
    with iv( ) style and on dependent side like:
    Code:
    xtabond2 Rs l.Rs Rf Rm rExr zmv rBrent volBrent d*, twostep small iv(Rf Rm rBrent volBrent rExr d*) gmm(Rs Rm zmv,lag(2 6) collapse)nodiffsargan robust orthogonal
    it says collinearity issue and omit many of the independent regressors
    I am unable to post the data sample as stata says
    Code:
     dataex
    input statement exceeds linesize limit. Try specifying fewer variables
    r(1000);
