Hello,

I'm a newbie with R, and this is my first time to post here.  Apologies in 
advanced if I should be posting my question on another list.

I'm working on a problem on Arellano and Bond's GMM estimator, and I've chosen 
to use plm/pgmm.  My issue is, I'm getting different results from pgmm() every 
time I run it.  Here's my code:

library(plm)
mydata = read.csv('mydata.csv')
ab = pgmm(formula = y ~ lag(y,1), data = mydata, gmm.inst=~lag(gmm_inst,1), 
effect = "individual", model="onestep")
coef(ab)

I noticed that every time I run the last 2 lines, I get different results after 
a few or so runs.  Sometimes, I get an error, then in the next run, I get 
results.  I can't figure this out, and I'm a bit desperate for a light at the 
end of the tunnel.

I'm attaching the data file I'm using.  It's a N=150, T=30 panel data with 
practically only one variable.  

Thank you very much!
Rolan
