Please use an informative title for your posting.
The report is in effect "it doesn't work" which
is usually impossible to comment on, but more
can be said in this case.
I note in passing that you indicate, presumably
schematically, that you typed
newey indepvar depvar, lag(4) force
However, the dependent variable would be named
first.
On the key question, you can't have it both
ways. It's as simple as that. -newey- won't
function without a prior -tsset- and you can't
-tsset- your data in terms of just a time
variable, as it will detect repeated values, unless
you happen to have panel data for which at most
one member is recorded for each time point.
If your question makes theoretical sense,
and on that I can't comment, then the only
way to do this with Stata would appear
to be by writing your own program.
