Thanks again Martin. With your approach one could get the same results
as with my original codes (in the original post) for the first three
variables. My problem is with the last variable. I don't understand
why the following code does not work (which aims variable 'nongroup_f'
to take the value 1 only when 'firm_id' as well as 'nation_id' of
preceding and/or following observations are different ). Instead the
variable takes the value 1 for all observations:

gen nongroup_f=.

forvalues i=1/`=_N'{
bys contract_id: replace nongroup_f=1 if (firm_id~=firm_id[_n-`i']) &
(nation_id~=nation_id[_n-`i'])
}

forvalues i=1/`=_N'{
bys contract_id: replace nongroup_f=1 if (firm_id~=firm_id[_n+`i']) &
(nation_id~=nation_id[_n+`i'])
}
