Jason, your first question seems easy to solve: I think your treatment variable and the outcome variable are identical. Recall the syntax for psmatch2, see -help psmatch2-.
The second point left me a bit confused. Searching for -attnd- using -findit attnd- didn't really turn out any hints. Is -attnd- available from SSC? Maybe you can clarify your steps there? Maybe differences are due to the issue with the first question.
Hope it helps
Jan Bryla

Dear Statalists,
I got two problems, first one:
I have a problem understanding the Output of my psmatch2 results. I'm new to
this so it could be a trivial error, but I'm not sure. I wanted to do a
nearest neighbor matching with replacement.
My results are:
. psmatch2 stockprice2010, outcome( stockprice2010) pscore(mypscore)
neighbor(10) caliper(0.1) ate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Why arent there only the untreated and treated in the table and
what ist the meaning of the numbers 2-92?
Second problem:
I've done the nearest neighbor matching of the same data sample with the
attnd function.
My results are:
. attnd stockprice2010 reldummy, pscore(mypscore)
The program is searching the nearest neighbor of each treated unit.
This operation may take a while.
ATT estimation with Nearest Neighbor Matching method
(random draw version)
Analytical standard errors
---------------------------------------------------------
n. treat. n. contr. ATT Std. Err. t
---------------------------------------------------------
424 63 -2.255 6.070 -0.371
---------------------------------------------------------
Note: the numbers of treated and controls refer to actual
nearest neighbour matches
Why is this result for ATT so different to the one of psmatch2?
Is the attnd matching with replacement?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Jason
