They are difined by province but also by urban/rural.
So I would need to include dummies for urban areas as
well, I suppose?
If each province is split into urban/rural you have (no. strata)= (2
x no. provinces). You could use -xi- and include all strata with an
i.urban*i.rural term. You might not need the interaction term. In
that case, modify the degrees of freedom by subtracting only the
number of interaction terms. If I = number of provinces, the number
of interaction terms is I - 1.
Another issue is that I also run regressions for
different groups within my sub-sample of children. So
I have split children into 4 cohorts and in the areas
where they reside. So my regressions are a sub-sub of
the whole sample. This sounds confusing but the idea
is to use a diffs-diffs estimators. So I compare
cohorts in different areas.
You probably don't need other -subpop- statements. For example, if
you are computing or comparing means for several cohorts, you could
have:
svy, subpop(children): mean varx, over(cohort)
