My repeated cross-section time series data is selected using a cluster
sample design. I agree that an important subject related to this problem is
the sample selection method of the repeated cross-section. Undoubtedly, this
will influence the standard errors estimates of the panel regressions: in
pseudo panels methods there are a measurement error problem. I know that for
this question perhaps there are no trivial answer, but ... How I can
integrate survey sample methods and panel estimation methods in Stata,
inside the pseudo panel context? I think that this is not a simple question
of data aggregation to perform cohort means. I believe there are numerous
problems related to obtaining consistent estimates as well as problems
concerning the adaptation of advanced techniques in dynamic panels (such as
obtaining robust standard errors, tests of over-identification restrictions,
auto-correlation errors tests, etc..) and applied to an estimation with
these averages cohorts. My question is: there are any developed empirical
research and procedures available referring to these problems? I would
greatly I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this appreciate any
guidance on this.

Others no doubt know much more about this than I do, but how does one create
a panel if each case is only measured at one point in time? 
Unless, say, you aggregated data up to the country level or something like
that.

My own impulse would be to include dummy variables for time and possibly
interactions for time, and then just use commands like regress and logit.
But, given that somebody has written papers on these topics - which, alas,
are kind of hard to look up because we don't have complete citations for
them (hint, hint) - maybe there are options I am not aware of.
