PINOCCHIO: Stata module that randomly generates false econometric statements

Marco Santacroce

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: Pinocchio functions as a stochastic producer of spurious econometric assertions, while the accurate statements are itemized in the help file. Its purpose is conceived as both a revision aid and a repository of key concepts to retain. It is recommended to set a random seed every time Stata is initiated.
