I don't understand all your manipulations, Roman, but I think that the
error message provides the key: the same stratum numbers appear in
both years, but with different fpcs,, depending on the year. Renumber
the strata so that this doesn't happen.
*************************
webuse income, clear
gen year = 2006 + (famid>68)
gen stratum = 1 if famid<=34 //2006
replace stratum =2 if inrange(famid,35,68) //2006
replace stratum =3 if inrange(famid, 69, 100) //2007
replace stratum =4 if inrange(famid, 101,135) //2007
gen fpc = .05*(stratum==1) +.10*(stratum==2) +.12*(stratum==3) +.
15*(stratum==4)
svyset famid, strata(stratum) fpc(fpc)
svy: reg inc if year==2006
estimates store y2006
svy: reg inc if year==2007
estimates store y2007
suest y2006 y2007

I have 2 estemates in 2 surveys with two different FPCs (finite

svy: reg Y if year==2007
estimates save r2007
estu use r2006
estimates esample:
est sto r6
estu use r2007
estimates esample:
est sto r7
suest r6 r7
and error:
fpc for all observations within a stratum must be the same
_robust2 failed to compute cross model variance estimate
likely an internal error in suest
"
1) is any way how to easily handle this correctly in STATA? Because two
different FPCs are correct for 2 years. Within 1 year (2006 or 2007) the
FPCs are well set because "svy: reg X if year==2006" is working.
2) do I have to calculate the ratio manually? Do you know any tools or
info about this?
3) when I know the fpc does not differ much, can I use average FPC for
the both surveys for the ratio (not for averages)?
thank you
