INTRODUCTION TO DATA ANALYSIS WITH STATA

The course introduces data analysis methodologies using the statistical software Stata. The ultimate goal of the course is to enable students to answer a research question via processing and analysing the data, interpreting the output of the analysis, and presenting it in a publication-quality style. The course is of specific interest to students willing to do an empirical thesis or wanting to continue their academic career with a Ph.D. course.

The course in a nutshell:

- importing data from Excel

- data management

- descriptive statistics and graphical representation of the data

- building maps in STATA

- interpreting the output of a simple OLS regression

- exporting publication-style tables and graphs

 

Lectures include hands-on-data sessions to allow students to learn how to build their own code starting from a research question.
