Well first of all Stata has a nice function -loneway- which would be
of help to you. You can, if you are adept at coding variables, set up
many other models as one-way layouts and do quite a bit using
contrasts, so -loneway- could do more than might be supposed.

But I question whether this is what you really want. It sounds to me
like what you really want is -xtreg- with fixed effects. Also note
that right now you have no explanatory variables, just firm effects
which seems odd.
