Dear sir/Dr./Prof, 
Happy New Year to all.

Sorry for being late  to respond to your request for clarification on my question. I was not online the past few days, and because I got few automatic responses from some members that says that they are out of office since until after new year break,so I also guessed that many list members may have gone for leave too. 


Anyway, thanks to all, and thank you specially Austin, for the reply and the request for clarification. 
 
Here is what I have typed in Stata and the Stata estimated output.

Manually (using hand to type in Stata command window,

reg3 (Leverage: d.lvr=l.lvr d.rwar roa llpta lta liq hhi y_2 y_3 y_4 y_5 y_6 y_7 y_8) (Prisk: d.rwar = l.rwar d.lvr llpta liq lta hhi y_2 y_3 y_4 y_5 y _6 y_7 y_8), small


Note that:  
D.cbf and D.rwar are the only two endogenous variables in this model, and that all other variables are   considered to be exogenous in this model.

y_2 and y_8 refer to year 2001 and year 2007 respectively s based on my year dummy coding  

Using Stata menu I also selected the same variables in the same arrangement but the output was the same.

The sample output below is from Stata estimation of this model.
