  • How to readh "teffects nnmatch"

    Hello Statalist,

    I am analyzing bond yield difference in between of foreign currency and domestic currency.

    I have dataset as follows:

    Yield
    Amount
    Maturity
    Rating
    Foreign = 1 if it is issued in foreign or zero otherwise

    Then, I ran
    teffects nnmatch (Yield Amount Maturity) (Foreign)
    tebalance sum

    The result shows

    Raw Matched
    -----------------------------------------
    Number of obs = 1,461 2,922
    Treated obs = 42 1,461
    Control obs = 1,419 1,461
    -----------------------------------------

    The option of teffects nmatch should be nneighbor (1) so I should have matched 1:1, I thought.
    But I am confused at the tebalance result showing Matched Treated obs = 1461 and Control obs 1461.

    So in this case, can I say "to match the T and C with the nearest distance of coveriates, Stata expands Treated observation and Control obs to 1461 each?
    If you could tell me how I can read the tebalance sum result, it would be highly appreciated.

    Regards;
