Introduction to STATA

Students will obtain the necessary skills to be able to work and conduct their own empirical analyses with the statistical software STATA. This will be a good basis for the writing of an empirical seminar paper, a Bachelor or Master thesis. The course will cover basic commands, data management, graphs, data manipulation, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis (see preliminary outline below). If time allows, more advanced topics such as the analysis of survey data and basic programming in STATA may be covered as well.
