cs_did does not allow for options

[Dalila Figueiredo]

Hello,

I'm running my code on Stata/MP 16.0, and the csdid does not allow for any option that is not ivar, time, and gvar. Any other option I use it says "option X not allowed".

If I run csdid Y X, ivar(id) time(year) gvar(group) it works.

Does anyone have any idea of what could be the problem?

Thank you!

Hi Dalila
What "options" are you trying to use? Is it documented in the helpfile?
can you provide the code you are trying to use?

Hi Fernando, thanks for your quick reply!

They are documented in the helpfile. The ultimate goal is to compare the estimates using IPW and IMP. But for now, let's say I'm trying to run:

csdid Y X, ivar(id) time(year) gvar(group) method(dripw) long2 notyet asinr (it doesn't work with one option at the time either).

I also tried using an example you have in your website to see if it was from the data: use https://friosavila.github.io/playing...rdid/mpdta.dta, clear and csdid lemp lpop , ivar(countyreal) time(year) gvar(first_treat) method(dripw) , and it says "option method() is not allowed".

I've already uninstalled and installed this command and drdid, but the problem persists.

Thanks!

just to close this: I just had a very old version of the command that was not being updated with the new install.
