Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I have THREE INDEPENDENT SAMPLES for 1995, 1997 and 2001. But for TWO of them (1995 and 1997) SOME of the people are common, so I can also create a quasi panel just for those two years. Right now I am trying to use all three independent samples, so it would be useful for me to know how to do the testing with the time trend that you had proposed. But it won't hurt to know also whether something similar can be done over the quasi-panel. THANKS A LOT. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.

To clarify, are these two independent samples, or is it the same people
interviewed twice? If independent samples, then I think it is a fairly
straightforward matter of setting up and testing interactions with time;
but before trying to work through it, why don't you clarify first.
