STATA Research Project

For this term’s research, participants will be grouped in small teams to gather quantita-tive data from their topic of their choice, use the program STATA to run regressions, and answer a provided question. The provided question will be the baseline of the project, but each team is free to use STATA to further analyze the gathered quantitative data. Each team will be given time to present their project to the club.

Objective:

To utilize research skills Work with quantitative dataLearn how to use “general-purpose statistical software” like STATA

- Wikipedia Analyze quantitative data Utilized Econometrics SkillsCritical ThinkingTeam WorkCommunication and presentation Skills

Each team has to answer: How does the independent variable(s) affect in dependent variable?

After answering this question, each team is free to analyze the data even further. This means implement learned material from Econometrics. After analyzing the data it is encouraged to cre-ate a story of how do the independent and dependent variables interact and how does that translate in the real world. It is also encouraged to provide some graphs and qualitative data to enhance the analytical work for a presentation.

Each team will have an Executive member who has take the Econometrics sequence classes. Basic resources are provided on the song page.
