Dear Maarten
Thanks for clarifying. Now I understand. I had this wrong. In that
case I think I need to ask for ideas for alternative method since I do
not have data on employment/unemployment spells.
I have realized that I have 2 period panel data on employment status.
So I have employment1 and employment2. I am interested in seeing the
effects of AIDS medication on transitions from one state to another.
I also have another treatment variable- food aid. So you have some
households where a patient is on AIDS medication and household
receives food assistance. If I choose instead to look at the effect of
food assistance ( meaning all households in analysis will now have a
patient on AIDS medication), what kind of transition analysis can I
do.. or maybe I should simply carry out multiple regression analysis
or propensity score matching?
Kindly advise
Regards
