Thank you all for your responses and valuable suggestions.

I will try your suggestions and will share the results.


In the meanwhile, I still have some difficulty in understating why reg3 did not drop the constant term when I used data set one but drop only when I use the remaining three separate data sets?. Anyway, this could be that I am asking the the same question again but in different ways. Nevertheless this is really a puzzling thing for me. 

Below is the output when I use data set one (it is exactly the same specification I used in the other data sets including the one I sent to this list few days ago), I need your comment and advice. 

You may look at the problem from another point I think. Is it a technical error in my stata command use? or something else? 
Thank you in advance.

> This is not how first differences (D. in Stata) work. The first difference in 2005 is defined if you have data for 2004 and 2005. You are never concerned about the succeeding year's data. However, with data for 2001-2005, you can only calculate D. for 2002-2005.
