Propensity Score Matching - how to construct a control group

[Irem Erten]

down votefavorite

I have a group of treated firms in a country, and for each firm I would like to find the closest match in terms of industry, size and profitability in the rest of the country. I am working on Stata. All I need is to form a control group- could anybody guide me with the code? That'd be greatly appreciated! I currently have the following, which doesn't get me what I need: psmatch2 (logpension) (treated sector logassets logebitda), logit ate
