Data Management, Advanced Programming and Automation using Stata (Online-Workshop!)
Lecturer(s):
Anne-Kathrin Stroppe, Nils Jungmann
Date: 27.04 - 28.04.2021 ics-file
Location: Online via Zoom / Course language: English
Course description
The course is designed to encourage participants, who are already handling Stata fluently, to unpack the potential of Stata for the automation of tasks in data management and data processing. Thus, it is not an introduction to the software but addresses advanced Stata users who want to learn how to employ loops and macros to efficiently solve data processing tasks, write own little programs (ados), or generate (LaTeX) documents from within Stata. The course will provide participants with the necessary basic knowledge on automation and programming in Stata, but beyond that we will discover how to write reproducible Stata syntax and maintain standardized workflows. The lecturers will present best practice examples from processing and analyzing survey data and participants will be able to apply their knowledge to use cases in Stata directly.

Learning objectives
Participants will improve wrangling and analyzing data in Stata with regard to reproducibility and efficiency of their syntax. They will be able to write Stata syntax and programs which they can re-use and apply to their own use cases.
Prerequisites
Participants should be familiar with Stata and use its basic data processing commands on a regular basis. They should have experience in using Stata syntax files and be able to present typical challenges they face when wrangling and analysing data.
