If you could address the following in the webinar, I would be grateful:

1. When combining surveys for a single country spanning multiple years, with the intention of making comparisons across years, how do you properly weight the data? If you could provide a worked example with Stata code, that would be exceedingly helpful.

2. Suppose I am fitting a regression model in Stata, and I use pweight with vce(cluster). Under what conditions would that be "good enough" in comparison to svy weighting the data? Frequently I am conducting analyses for which there are no svy analogues, so I just use pweight & vce(cluster), but often journal referees will complain about this and I do not have a technical response that can satisfy them.

Thank you!
