Thank you very much Ariel, I tried to use cem and got an error [<istmt>: 3499 cemStata() not found], I will keep trying.
Is it OK to run psmatch2 for three different years, store the results in new variables (for example _treatedYEAR1) and then combine the new variables (_treatedYEAR1, _treated YEAR2 and _treatedYEAR2) and use these as the results of psmatch2 for three years would you know please?
I read that optmatch is most suitable for samples which have more control that treated observations so didn't try this.
Again, many thanks, Colette

Hi Colette,
It dose not appear that pscore offers the option to generate a variable for
the matches.
I am more familiar with other user written programs that do automatically
generate the matches. -psmatch2- generates all sorts of useful variables
for post further analytic purposes. -cem- (written by Gary King and found on
his website, as well as a descrption in a recent article in Stata Journal),
uses coarsened exact matcing and also leaves a couple of new variables in
the file for the match and the weight. -optmatch- is yet another user
written program that performs matching (optimal), written by Mark Lunt
(findit - optmatch).
There are others as well, but these are my top picks of programs for
matching (propensity score or otherwise)
I hope this helps
Ariel
