Hello, one more questions. Here it goes.
I have now created estimates for TE for each sector following Nick Cox's
suggestion. I would now like to compute TE for each firm in a sector relative
to maximum TE in that sector in a particular year.
I am not sure how to proceed, mainly due to the lack of understanding of
programming.
thanks

As I understand it, you are fitting a separate
model for each sector, and want to pool the predictions.
Here is one way to do that:
levels sector, local(S)
gen te = .
foreach s of local S {
capture drop work
qui xtfrontier
logrgva time logwage logplnt if sector == `s', tvd
predict work if e(sample)
qui replace te = work if sector == `s'
}
