there are at least 3 user-written routines that might be related to this
article; use -findit- to find and install these
ebalance
pbalchk
mpbalchk (version of preceding for MI data)
in addition for those using -cem- for matching, there are routines from
the -cem- authors also

(2009) on how to check the balancing properties of the covariates between matched treated and untreated observations after PSM using the empirical sampling distribution of the standardized difference as alternative to t-tests. I was wondering whether there is a Stata command (user-written or else) to run this approach? My search was not successful.
