Title

hte -- Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Analysis

Syntax

Stratification-Multilevel Method (SM):

hte sm ...

Matching-Smoothing Method (MS):

hte ms ...

Smoothing-Differencing Method (SD):

hte sd ...

Description

hte performs heterogeneous treatment effect analyses as proposed by
Xie, Brand, and Jann (2012). Three methods are supported, the
stratification-multilevel method (see help hte sm), the
matching-smoothing method (see help hte ms), and the
smoothing-differencing method (see help hte sd).

Dependencies

hte sm requires pscore (Becker and Ichino 2002) and
hte ms requires psmatch2 (Leuven and Sianesi 2003). To
install these programs on your system, type:

. net install st0026_2, from(http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj5-3)
. ssc install psmatch2
