Facilitating Applied Economic Research with Stata

Christopher Baum

No 531, Boston College Working Papers in Economics from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: We describe the Stata software environment, and illustrate how it may be profitably employed for applied economic research. Stata stands between "point and click" statistical packages and matrix languages in terms of extensibility and ease of use, and provides web-accessible features that enhance collaborative research and instruction.
