Clive,
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually, I tried to create lags and leads for my explanatory variables before. When I include all the leads and lags in an equation like the one below, STATA does not even do the estimation as there is no observation.

Y_i(t)= X_i(t) +L.X_i(t)+L2.X_i(t)....+F.X_i(t)+F2.X_i(t)..F8.X_i(t)

Even if the above equation were estimated, this equation would not give me coefficients on the variables from the regression  

Y_i(t) = X_i(t) + X_i1987 + X_i1988+....+X_i1997
 
i:1...N while t:1987..1997

I wonder if there is any command in STATA that will include all past and future values of the explanatory variables for every cross section over the 1987-1997 time series? 

Thanks

Create dummy variables for your year terms if you haven't already.

For your explanatory variables, use the -l.- operator to create lagged terms

. gen lagvar=l.var

and the -f.- operator to create lead terms

. gen leadvar=f.var

I hope this helps.
