Re: st: pool cross-section survey data
You might find useful some of the advice at http://www.stata.com/
statalist/archive/2007-11/msg00216.html.
You probably need a -survey- enabled analysis, or at least one that
can handle weights and clustering. To advise you further, we would
need details of the survey design (strata, stages, units at each
stage, weights). Of particular interest: were primary sampling units
(PSUs) selected anew at each survey? Also, what exactly is the goal
of your analysis? The suffix "dt" in your equation suggests to me
that you want to look at changes.

I wonder if you could point me out on readings and on the main
issues when trying to pool two or three independent cross-

panel in the sense that I do not observe the same individuals in
the three surveys but they are representative at the provincial
and urban/rural areas.
I am trying to see if I can model something like this:
Yidt= a + b Xidt + c Zt + dPidt + u
where Xit are characteristics that might varied over time for each
individual. Z is specific time for all individuals. P is dummy for
individuals treated in region d and time t.
I have been reading the Wooldrige on cross-sectional and panel
data but would like to know if you know of any other sources or
have in mind any applied examples and/or econometric problems you
may encounter.
John Micklewright's chapter on analysing pooled cross-sectional data
in Dale and Davies (1994) might be a very useful starting point for
you.
