Dear Statalist,
I'm currently working on my master dissertation, and I'm facing difficulties in finding the appropriate codes for what seems like a relatively simple problem. I kindly request the assistance of anyone who has experience in this topic. Your support would be very meaningful to me.
In my dataset, I have 892 treated firms and 49.256 control firms. I aim to match each treated firm with a control firm based on an exact match of NACE code as well as match on the nearest propensity score based on operating profit and total debt. I want each treated firm to be matched with a control firm with the same NACE code but when I use excact I get an error. If anyone has a workaround for this, it would be greatly appreciated or has a code, that would work in getting around this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. I've tried looping as well, but didn't succeed.
Below is my current code for matching:
Code
psmatch2 treated opprofit totdebt ///
neighbor(10) exact(nacecode_num)
Thank you very much in advance.
