Many thanks! 

My data looks like eactly what you stated but country x has high, middle and low income groups (individuals) and the same is applied for country y, z and w. Now, I want to test, whether there is statistically significant difference among high income groups across countries. The same is also true for mindle and low income groups. In short: the null hypothesis is no difference among countries  for low, middle and high income groups (I need separate test for each income groups)

These are your variables, but what is your data structure? 

Do your data look like this? 

Country  Income group 
x            1
y            2
z            2
w            3 

Or do you have replicates (e.g. areas, individuals) within each country? 

And what hypothesis are you testing?

I have two categorical variables: namely incomecat (1=high,2=middle and 3=low income) and country ( labeled as (x, y, z, w)). Suppose that each country has high, middle and low income group. If I want to run paired test for each income group across countries, what stata command  should I use?
