Thnank you for the suggestion. I will look in to the SEM routine. Currently I am also exploring two user written commands (cmp and gllamm) and hopefully will get something useful between these routines.

Regarding the macro level variables I matched with the DHS data, what I used is the latter procedure (i.e. macro level variables were matched with birth year rather than year of survey) but I fully agree that this approach may have some issues for children who did not have a 'linear' progression with their schooling experience ( either because they did not start school at the 'right' age and/or dropped out of school Were re-entrants). I think with some additional information on the timing of school events it may be possible to align events and covariates better than I was able to do or be able to use such information to generate lag variables.
