Good day all,

I'm running a dynamic panel regression with results shown below. I'm wondering if my results are good if the p-value of my Hansen test of overid. restrictions is greater than 0.05 but the instruments are greater than the number of groups. Unfortunately, increasing the number of groups is unlikely and limiting the lags results to a Hansen test p-value of < 0.05.

Thank you all!
