Omitted period dummies in GMM xtabond2
When reproducing this code to explain the growth relationship, it drops both period 1 and period 4 dummies, and the sargan test seems to reject the null. What can I improve in the coding to avoid period 4 to be dropped and how should I interpret the results as most of them are not significant which is worrying me.
my regression is Growthit=GDPi,t-1+Ginii,t-1+PPPIi,t-1+countrydummies*i+Perioddummiest+eit
