Portugal Stata Conference 2026 from Stata Users Group

Abstract: bpstat is a Stata package provided by BPLIM that enables users to import thousands (over 70,000) of statistical series from the Banco de Portugal BPstat database directly into Stata. It supports both a command-line interface and a dialog-driven mode, streamlining the retrieval of time-series data and associated metadata. The package leverages embedded Python code (available since Stata 16), facilitating access to the BPstat API—the open data API provided by Banco de Portugal. Thanks to bpstat, researchers can efficiently access a wide array of Portuguese and Euro-area economic and financial statistics published by Banco de Portugal, facilitating empirical analysis and economic research.
