ECO 4700 A Data Cleaning in STATA
Data cleaning is an essential step in the research process. Before econometric analysis can be conducted, data must be checked for accuracy and consistency. With increasing emphasis on replicability and transparency of economic research in academics, government and private industry, developing strong data cleaning skills is critical for professional development. This course will introduce you to the best-practices in data cleaning and coding. Together we will work through all steps needed to move from the initial importation of raw data to the point of being ready to conduct econometric analysis with those data. The class is completely project-based, with grades determined on the accuracy of your STATA program. Prerequisites: Completion of
