Seminar contentThis course aims to study how to use Stata software to run panel data. Within this course, students will be able to:
  • Prepare panel data and make panel data in Stata,
  • Verify the multicollinearity using Pearson correlation,
  • Run a fixed effect model.
  • Run random effect model.
  • Use the Hausman test
  • Use the normality test
  • Use Wald modified test to verify the heteroskedasticity problem
  • Use the Wooldridge test (2002) to test the autocorrelation problem
  • Correct the heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation problems
  • Interpret the different tests and the results of the Model.
At the end of this seminar, students will be able to recognize data and use Stata to run panel models. Students will be able also to interpret the different tests and results.
The students need to have data and statistic tables to interpret the results. All needed documents will be given by the lecturer. In addition, the lecturer will give the students a data and they will apply all the tests and steps using Stata on this data.
Toward the end of the seminar, participants will be asked to develop and present an initial design for a future study of their choosing. There will be two mandatory reading assignments. Participants are expected to read the assigned book and paper prior to attending the seminar.
