Special software is required to use some of the files in this section: .do, .dta, .csv.



Stata® Programs


Some simple econometric applications implemented using Stata®. Before running a specific program, read it, in order to understand how to use it and which data you have to download from the Data Sets page. The download links are Stata® files.


PROGRAMsDESCRIPTIONsDOWNLOADs
CR Growth ProgramThis do-file creates the data set "growth.dta", using some of the ascii files contained in the Barro-Lee archive. (See NBER Web site.)crgrowth (TXT)
GasolineThis do-file uses the data set "gasoline.dta" to perform a regression analysis of the demand of gasoline.gasoline (TXT)
Jordan Event StudyThis do-file uses the data set "jordan.dta" to perform an event study of the retirement of Michael Jordan.jordan (TXT)
Growth ProgramThis do-file performs a set of growth regressions both in a cross-section and a panel framework, using the data set "growth.dta".growth_orig (TXT)
HedonicThis do-file performs an hedonic price analysis of the housing market, exploiting the data set "Hedonic.dta".hedonic (TXT)
NaftaThis do-file performs a roll call regression of the NAFTA vote using "nafta.dta" and "states.dta".nafta (TXT)
WhalesThis do-file analyzes Jeff Wilder's infamous whaling data. You are encouraged to analyze the data yourself and email interesting results to Jeff. (Be sure to also view "Whales.log".)whales (TXT)
Blue NileThis file provides a little guide for the blue nile file "bluenile.dta".blue nile (TXT)
Maple SyrupThis file gives a brief intro to the contents of demand.dta which contains the data to estimate a supply demand system for domestic maple syrup.demand (TXT)
Trade and WagesThis file describes the variables in the trade and wages dataset. They have strange non-intuitive names so you may want to rename them.trade (TXT)



Data Sets


Some socio-economic data sets in Stata® format (.dta). They can be used to perform determined econometric applications (see the Stata® Programs).


DATA SETsDESCRIPTIONsDOWNLOADs
Cephs.csvThis ascii file contains price and revenue series for five branded and one generic Cephalosporin. Data are comma delimited. Variable names appear in the first row.cephs (CSV)
Election.dtaThis Stata® data set contains stock market return data that can be used to perform an event study of how the turbulent election of George W.
