Dear Statalists,
I got two problems, first one:
I have a problem understanding the Output of my psmatch2 results. I'm new to
this so it could be a trivial error, but I'm not sure. I wanted to do a
nearest neighbor matching with replacement.
My results are:
. psmatch2 stockprice2010, outcome( stockprice2010) pscore(mypscore)
neighbor(10) caliper(0.1) ate

Question: Why arent there only the untreated and treated in the table and
what ist the meaning of the numbers 2-92?
Second problem:
I've done the nearest neighbor matching of the same data sample with the
attnd function.
My results are:
. attnd stockprice2010 reldummy, pscore(mypscore)
The program is searching the nearest neighbor of each treated unit.
This operation may take a while.
ATT estimation with Nearest Neighbor Matching method

Analytical standard errors
---------------------------------------------------------
n. treat. n. contr. ATT Std. Err. t
---------------------------------------------------------
424 63 -2.255 6.070 -0.371
---------------------------------------------------------
Note: the numbers of treated and controls refer to actual
nearest neighbour matches
Why is this result for ATT so different to the one of psmatch2?
Is the attnd matching with replacement?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Jason
