If you kind find this paper, it will be quite useful:
http://www.citeulike.org/user/ctacmo/article/1036965. Pfeffermann is
one of few statisticians who is aware of Hausman (1978) test that just
celebrated a third of a century... think about the time for good ideas
to diffuse from one discipline to another. This is the test that's
directly applicable to your case, but Stata is reluctant to run it
with weighted data, so you'd have to find ways to force it to perform
it.
