Eliciting truthful answers to sensitive questions is an age-old problem in survey research. Respondents tend to underreport socially undesired or illegal behaviors while overreporting socially desirable ones. To combat such response bias, various techniques have been developed that are geared...

Graphical display of regression results has become increasingly popular in presentations and the scientific literature because, in many cases, graphs are much easier to read than tables. In Stata, such plots can be produced by the marginsplot command. However, while marginsplot is very versatile...

This talk illustrates how results from various Stata commands can be processed efficiently for inclusion in customized reports. A two-step procedure is proposed in which results are gathered and archived in the first step and then tabulated in the second step. Such an approach disentangles the...

Tables of estimated regression coefficients, usually accompanied by additional information such as standard errors, t statistics, p-values, confidence intervals, or significance stars, have long been the preferred way of communicating results from statistical models. In recent years, however,...

Least-squares regression is a major workhorse in applied research. Yet its estimates may be deemed nonrobust under various conditions. One example is heavy-tailed error distributions, in which least-squares estimation may lose its cutting edge with respect to efficiency. More importantly,...

In this presentation, I present a new user package called texdoc. texdoc can be used to create a LaTeX document from within Stata in a weaving fashion. This is especially useful if you want to produce a LaTeX document that contains Stata output, such as a Stata Journal article or solutions to...

Methods for causal inference and the estimation of treatment effects have received much attention in recent years. Most of the methodological and applied work focuses on the identification of so-called average treatment effects, possibly restricted to the treated or the untreated. However,...

A new package called -adolist- is presented. -adolist- is a tool to create, install and uninstall lists of user ado packages ("adolists"). For example, -adolist- can create a list of all user packages installed on a system and then install the same packages on another system. Moreover, -adolist-...

The tutorial will show how results from various Stata commands can be processed efficiently for inclusion in customized reports. A two-step procedure is proposed in which results are gathered and archived in the first step and then tabulated in the second step. Such an approach disentangles the...
