    there may be others but the only one I know of is -vmatch- which is user-written; use -search- or -findit- to locate and install

      Hi Michael,
      However, I am still struggling on the very last step of the process, namely calculating the effect of the treatment on a specific dependent variable y.
      I am not able to figure out how to run a regression which does not capture the average difference between the whole treated and control group, but instead the difference for each pair (that is running a regression which takes into account the matching I previously did).
      Under the theory "better late than never", and the hope that this might help someone in the future who stumbles across this post, I'll answer this question now.

      I'd suggest including fixed effects for your matched group variable, so that you are estimating within the matched pairs/groups.

        Is there a code that allows such matching within a percentage range of the variable as opposed to numeric range. For example what if I would like to match on variable x within +/- 30% range?
        Under the theory "better late than never", and the hope that this might help someone in the future who stumbles across this post, here's a suggestion for how to resolve this using calipmatch.

        Code:
        xtile x_percentiles = x, nq(100)
        calipmatch ..., calipermatch(x_percentiles) caliperwidth(30)
