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.
