Danny Quah (LSE) did not estimate transition matrices as far I recall
(in the way most usually interpret that term). But, anyway, I also
seem to recall that the key elements of what he calls a "stochastic
kernel", are derived from estimates of bivariate and univariate kernel
densities. There are Stata programs for the latter, but not for the
former (at least not in wide circulation)
