What do u think about that: If I have a 12x412 panel is it then ok to use 225 instruments or should one stay near 100 instruments? If you ask me, 225 orthogonality conditions is a sure recipe for disaster, unless you have 10 billion observations or more. The conventional wisdom among practitioners is that should never use all available instruments when doing panel GMM, unless your T is very small.
