To be honest, I didn't read through all your code, or try it out on a
sample dataset, but I suspect that the section labeled "Creates 5-year
period indicator" is introducing the error. Try this instead (and
also investigate whether you have missing years or duplicate years
within ifscode values):
iis ifscode;
tsset ifscode year;
*** Creates 5-year period indicator;
gen indpd =year-mod(year,5);
**** Creates 5-year averages ;
collapse (min) year ifscode (mean) tot_exp cap_exp
