not sure what a stata 2-level file is, but you presumably can represent
your data in one rectangular data set, such as by replicating the
country-level observations for each province or some such. if you do
that, and then recreate whatever the 2-level file is, perhaps you can get
stata to use imputed data.

Hi -
I have a data set that has missing data for 40% of cases on 1 computed
variable (an index created from about 12 single variables). I would like to
use HLM to analyze the data, since the data is hierarchical in structure. The
variable of interest is at the second level of a 2-level HLM structure. The
problem is that STATA assumes a common level-2 file. Therefore, if I impute
data using Amelia, I must have a single level-2 file in order to run the
analysis in HLM. Does anyone know if I can use Amelia and then some other
program like Clarify to combine the imputed data sets before I run the HLM
analyses? I would appreciate any help anyone could offer.
Thanks.
