For exactly the same reason that I explained in our last exchange. "dropped" means the coefficient is set to zero. See our previous exchange

Subject: st: VECM: Stata drops variable

Dear Statalist,

estimating a VECM with Stata 10, Stata automatically drops coefficients of variables in the cointegrating equation: 
(lags 2, rank 2)

I wonder why. And I also need especially these variables to form part of the cointegrating matrix beta. 
Any help is highly appreciated.
