Using Stata at Wooster

STATA is a comprehensive econometrics package that is used in the The Department of Economics for IS and other research purposes.  Each computer in the Morgan 217 computer lab has a copy of Stata that you can use for your work when classes are not meeting in that room.  You may also purchase a one-year student license for Stata.  If you are interested in doing this, please contact Professor Sell.

Detailed (basic) instructions for using Stata can be found here.  Also, consult the instructor of your economics or business economics course.

Stata was formally adopted by the Economics Department in January 2005.  During a transition period, some students will also be using our previous econometics package, Shazam.  A document describing a variety of Shazam commands and their counterparts in Stata is at this link.  Please contact Professor Sell or Professor J. Burnell for additional information.
