estimating for a subsample for which the succedding year is availabe,
e.g. for 2001- 2005, with data for 2006 available, so that the first
difference 2005-2006 can be caculated.
This is not how first differences (D. in Stata) work. The first difference in 2005 is defined if you have data for 2004 and 2005. You are never concerned about the succeeding year's data. However, with data for 2001-2005, you can only calculate D. for 2002-2005.
