Dear Bastian,

is this a time series? What is the range? Do you tsset the data?
Before use the looping, you need to see if the command run. This
command run?

reg dependent_var indep_var1 indep_var2  if Observation_Year <= 1977,
robust cluster (firms)

If your first observation in the database is 1977, you are trying to
run an ols with only one observation, with degree of freedom.

I think you need to provide us more information.

Hope this helps,

Joao Lima
